He's Still Got It!

Our 'second' vehicle died a while back. Leaving us to manage life with just one set of wheels.

When the need to be two-places-at-once occurs, we grab our daughter's car. (Which we actually own.)

It's a cute little blue 'puddle-jumper' with a nice pink stripe. Sarah loves her little car. It's her independence. And she loves the pink stripe.

A little while back, one of those need-to-be-two-places-at-once situations came up. I was driving our family take-us-all-where-we need-to-go white mini-van. My husband took Sarah's car.

This was not the first time he had driven her car. He's driven it lots. BUT, this time he needed to get gas. Mark enjoys surprising our daughter with gas in her car. College daughter is on a tight budget and any 'bonus' gas that just-shows-up in her car is worthy of excitement, and an 'I love you Daddy'.

This particular trip to the gas station included a friendlier than wanted
encounter.

A vehicle was at an adjacent gas-pump being fueled by another male
patron. This other male patron was driving a car with a rainbow bumper sticker. He happened to notice my 'manly' guy. And the fact that my 'manly' guy was driving a pink-striped car. A pink-striped car that might also be worthy of a rainbow bumper sticker. Except when driven by our daughter.


Plain and simple; there was some flirting going on at the gas-pump.
Flirting that was not being received very well. My husband wasn't
looking to star in the next SNL parody.

I don't know if I should feel reassured that my guy's still got it or think that this might be just the chance I need to get a new second vehicle.

Hmmm.
