My wife and I are a one car family. We both work the same hours which means one person gets to work early and leaves late. After looking at all the facts it was decided that logically it made more sense for me to take the car. By logically I mean that in the winter I would have to scrape the snow and ice off the car and by the time I arrive at her work the car would be toasty warm. And in the summer I would get to deal with a car that feels like an easy bake oven, but by the time I get to my wife’s lab the car is nice and cool.
The other day my wife wasn’t feeling so well so she made an appointment with the doctor which means she had to take the car. She dropped me off at work and said she would call me after her doctor’s appointment. A few hours later my phone rings. The display on my phone says ‘car’ along with a picture of my dashboard. We have OnStar so our car does have its own phone number so I list it that way in my phone. The conversation went something like this, and please keep in mind my wife really wasn’t feeling well.
Me: “So what did the doctor say?”
Wife: “As I thought, I have an infection in my throat, but I’m going to work anyway seeing as I don’t have a fever and I am not contagious.”
Me: “Well at least you don’t have a fever, so did you get any good drugs?”
Wife: “Not really just some antibiotics which you will have to pick up before you pick me up.”
Beat
Me: “Before I pick you up?”
Wife: “Yes from the Walmart right by your work, the usual place,”
Me: pulling my phone from my ear so I could look at the display, yup she was calling from the car, “uhm, I don’t think I can pick you up today.
Beat…then chuckling on the other end of the line
Wife: “Well I told you I wasn’t feeling well”
Me: “Well at least you have provided me some material for my next blog!”
