Slow down????
“What do you mean “slow down”? I’m not slowing down. I want this car. I want to buy this car and I want to drive this car home, right now, this very minute!!” Typing it out cannot express the urgency that was in my voice.
“I know, I know… But you need to step back a minute. Calm down, relax, breathe.”
Easy for him to say. He has a vehicle.
I have a pile of junk sitting in the driveway that had already had a good chunk of cash sunk into it. No wheels. I was feeling stranded, both at home and at work. Not to mention the car pooling - we are not even going there!!
A decision needed to be made and it needed to be made right now!!! was my opinion.
“Okay. I’m breathing again. Thinking logically. I’ve calmed down. And I still want to buy this car.”
“So you liked the way it handled? It felt good? You felt sa...” SG was stalling for time, I just knew it.
I interrupted him, “I’ve already told you this stuff. The car is a dream. It’s great. I feel safe in it, I feel in control of the car instead of the car being in control of me. We’ve already discussed this.”
“Well then, get the nephew to fill out the papers and I’ll be by to sign them on Monday.”
Oh.
I wasn’t expecting that.
I present to you, the newest addition to our family.
Meet “Maggie”.
And yes, it is a very "Merry Merry!!"
