The car topper has become quite the joke. We’ve been home from vacation for 5 days and it is still on there. Last night I was grumpy. Really grumpy. And Ryan said he wasn’t going to take the effing topper off last night so I said “Then let’s see how you like driving that biotch to work tomorrow!”
Well… today I had to run errands. Ran into a friend at Target who, as we walked out to the parking lot, said she couldn’t remember where she parked.
“You wouldn’t forget if you had one of these on your car!”
And then at Meijer, as I was unloading the kids, another friend drove by and said “Ma’am… where can I get one of those for my car?”
I about died laughing.
It’s turning into the butt of all jokes. Awesome.
