I HATE BLACK AUDIS.
I don't know why, but some of the worst offenders of traffic laws and the laws of physics are drivers of Black Audis. Actually, that's not true, I do know why. People (in China and in other places in the world too) who drive black Audis are generally either government officials, or have way too much money. Both conditions give the driver a license to be a jerk. If a car is driving the wrong way down a one way street it is more often than not a black Audi (or a cab driver, but that's a whole nother story). A black Audi will not stop, it will run you down and keep on going. A couple of days ago, I saw an Audi parked across a whole lane of traffic. At first I thought he was trying to park, you know angle himself against traffic, to back into a sidewalk parking space, but as I got closer I realized that there was no one in the car. I doubt it was an accident because I didn't see any other cars (or drivers) no shattered glass on the pavement.. No this car was just parked across a lane of traffic because he could. *sigh* I used to think Audis were cool cars too, now just looking at them makes me mad.
But, lest you think that I am all road rage.... Babes and I have an inside joke. We've had them before, but I think this is the first time that she really realizes that it's an inside joke. I'm going to let you guys in, but you can't tell her... It's from Megamind (one of my favorite movies now) nothing special, just the way he says hello, he says "ollo" Now whenever Babes thinks I'm not smiling enough she pops her little head up and says "ollo". And I have to say, it always works. And the opposite works too, if she's being mopey for no reason and I pull a long face and say "ollo" she breaks out into the biggest smile.
It's like I told my brother, one of the best things about having kids is having someone to back you up in your craziness. I think the best example of this (last random story I swear) happened when Babes was
not even 3. We were in my sister's car and she took an off ramp a little too fast. I grabbed the oh s**t handle of the car with both hands and screamed "ooh noooo!" and from the back seat my little girl chimed in "we're all gonna die!" I've never been so proud.
