HOUSEWIFE 101

LESSON 07:

“Oh gas hand, how I do take thee for granted.” A quote by little ole’ me, repeatedly chanted over and over yesturday as I miraculously cruised into a nearby gas station. I found out yesturday that the myth of “When your car’s gas light comes on, you can get five to ten more miles out of it before it cuts off” is just that, a myth.

My car just so happened to decide that it wanted to be ornery and prove this myth wrong on a day when I had too many errands to run and not enough time to run them in. Ungrateful, she is. It is me who keeps her oil changed and makes sure that her tires are rotated on time. It was me, who during her short period of hot flashes, went and got her A/C fixed so she wouldn’t be a cranky witch during 100 degree weather.

Oh sure, I leave you a little dusty from time-to-time. Okay, it’s really like all of the time, but you’re a working woman. A little dirt never hurt anybody. (It actually makes you look like you did something all day. So does a little flour on your shirt.) And yes, I allow the boys to eat in the car and I sometimes toss paper on the floor, but I almost always pick up after myself.

I am just begging you to cut me a little slack next time, and allow me to at least get my fabled five miles out of you if this is to so happen once again.

SUMMARY OF TODAYS LESSON:
01. Always have at least a quarter tank of gas if you do not want to be embarrassingly caught stuck in the middle of the street.

That is all for todays lesson. Until we meet again.
