[Mister Pontiac]

Some of my funniest memories are the ones the kids have given me. Case in point...

Years ago, my 16 year old step-daughter comes home and parks her 99 Accord in the street in front of the house. I'm in the driveway working on my 67 GTO.

She be-bops into the house with a smile, and I notice something doesn't look quite right on her Accord. As I walk over, I realize the right front tire has almost no air left in it. I go up and knock on her door...

"Lauren, do you know you have a flat tire?"
"I do?"
"Come with me a minute."

At the car I point and ask, "Did you notice your steering wheel was pulling to the right side as you were driving home?"

"Oh, I just thought my car was being STOOOPID."

"Well honey, in the future, when your car is being stupid, please tell me because your car is trying to tell you something."

"Okay."

To her credit, a decade later, she still calls me when her car is 'being stupid.' Lesson learned.

My 4.0 GPA super bookworm daughter. Love her to death!
