Will the owner of the Black Expedition please come to the office

as I start to gather the swim stuff at the pool...my keys, make sure Brynn's out of the kiddy pool..."THIS IS AN EMERGENCY WILL THE OWNER OF THE BLACK EXPEDITION PLEASE COME TO THE OFFICE, YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE"
So I roll my eyes, finish collecting my stuff - they're always playing jokes on me at the pool - I mean - it's a two way street, right...so I go to the office, and the life guards are running back & forth w/ buckets of water - the pool alarm sounds & they make everyone get out of the pool - as I look outside & see a BLACK EXPEDITION on fire.

Interesting.


Musta overheated, thinks I.

Turns out - someone moved my car to a different spot in the parking lot that I never park in...as I watch my car go up in flame a mexican lady comes out crying. Turns out, it's not my car at all, it's hers. HALLELUJAH!

She wasn't crying because her car was on fire, she was crying because just last night she had a dream - more like nightmare that her car caught on fire & her kids were stuck in it - she was crying because she was thankful her children weren't stuck in the car...they were swimming in the pool.

Hows that for a dose of perspective?!

You seem like you were so calm when you thought that it WAS your car. How is that?

And yes, that's quite the perspective!

Okay, so...

1. The people at the pool are always playing tricks on you? Am I the only one who thinks that's weird? Are you buddies with all the lifeguards or something?

2. Someone moved your car? Just, I dunno, Casper or someone? Am I the only one who thinks that's weird? Your car just moved? While you were swimming?

3. This lady had a dream that her car caught on fire, and the next day it caught on fire? Am I the only one who thinks that's weird? I'd be so FREAKED if I were her!

4. I'm glad it wasn't your car. Because someone mysteriously moved it. At the pool, where people play tricks on you.

5. Am I the only one who thinks that's weird?
