speaking of women and cars

random thoughts...

once i was at the gas station, and i was distracted, (my oblivion was working overtime) i scanned by debit card, put the pump handle into my gas tank, it was chilly so i pushed the pump handle into place so i didn't have to stand there while the gas was going into the tank.

colby was about three years old & i loved having conversations with him. i sat down in the driver's seat & we (colbs & me) began to talk. somewhere in my mind i heard the gas "click" signaling that the tank was full...i was distracted, (did i mention that?) and i cranked the car and drove off...yes with the pump handle still attached to my car!! i thought nothing of it till...

i heard a loud noise & that's when it dawned on me that i forgot to remove the pump...i looked in the rear view mirror to see the pump dangling in the wind...

needless to say, i was toooo embarassed to go back, so i found a place down the road, stopped and put the gas cap back on.

true story...
