mr.ineedahaircut convinced me to let him drive me to east coast park for sugarcane juice.
at 10am in the morning.
so i agreed.
fun what right?
mr.ineedahaircut driving skills were.. albeit.. a
tad reckless.
hump bump bump.
speed. jam brake.
stalled in the middle of huge junction.
the worst of all?
he couldn't reverse..
yes he said my daddy's trusty little kangoo is different.
we were stuck at the damn lagoon carpark for half an hour frantically calling everyone we know to see if they knew the trick of how to reverse.
we even nearly resorted to manually pushing the van out.
if not for a certain friend, who managed to find a colleague who drove a kangoo before, directing us with the instructions. step by step.
we thought all was well.
all was fine.
until........
my parents returned home from their short trip overseas...
my dad demanded to know why something fell out!
YES FELL OUT.
some black thing, most likely a car part i suppose, dropped out of his steering wheel.
to date, my family hasn't figured out what dropped out.
its been sent for analysis at our nearest friendly neighbourhood car maintenance shop.
so he questioned me.
up down right n left.
if anyone, anyone at all, touched his sweet retro yellow vehicle.
he warned me saying: i know this lil thing like the back of my hand.
i'll know if anyone ever even sat on the driver's seat besides me.
after much haggling, about punishment, which could not involve getting grounded, cutting my allowance.
i admitted, with grace and magnanimity, that i was after all a playful daughter who merely wanted to go for a spin in his beautiful kangoo.
i'm sure daddy dearest wouldn't want his lil kangoo to stay stagnant for days, bored, lonely in that small constrained area of a parking lot now, would he?
:)
yeah so my punishment is...
daddy: u BETTER go get ur license ok?don't tell me you're too lazy to go for lessons. after ur exams. then i wouldnt have to worry.
then we could probably buy another car since all of us can drive.
YES YES YES.
i love my daddy.
his punishments are the greatest.
