Monday, March 12, 2007So This Is My MondayI had to run to the grocery store before lunch because, well, I was a bit dimwitted this weekend and neglected to do the weekly shopping. Feeding all these children is a full time endeavor. So I parked the van and walked around the back of it, on my way into the store. And that's when I saw the stuffed dog. He was attached to a makeshift leash, which was clipped onto the wiper on my back windshield. That's right. I had just driven all the way to Publix dragging a stuffed dog behind me. (Dog lovers across the world are breathing a sigh of relief that I don't own a real pet.) Honestly, how was I supposed to know that Spencer had attached his puppy to the van? That's not exactly something I check for before hopping in and driving off. It's a good thing that Publix is only three minutes away. I can't imagine what would have happened to the poor stuffed thing if I had driven on the highway. As it was, Caramel (that's his name) got fairly dirty, but he's still in one piece (and is currently enjoying a good, hot swish in the washing machine). I found out, much to my chagrin, that Spencer had seen me driving away with his beloved Caramel in tow -- and had cried. Imagine my poor child standing at the window, tears running down his face, as his hapless mama drives off with his stuffed puppy scraping along the road behind her. I can hardly wait until Eric finds out about this one. He'll confiscate my car keys. Oh, the joy of Mondays... |

6of my readers are feeling chatty:
Reminds me of Vacation with Chevy Chase. At least you still had the dog at the end... :)
LOL Eric!! It happens... I'm just happy that the dog was still attached when you got home. ((((Spencer)))) I bet you won't do that again.
I thought the same thing Eric. At least there wasn't an old dead auntie in the car.
Awww. =(
Let's perform an experiment. Buy stuffed dog at dollar store, attach puppy to leash, attach leash to car and drive a couple hundred miles on the interstate. Good idea... I would like to know the rate of decay as the dog drags across the road.
you always got something interesting to blog about.
Oh my gosh! LOL! I would have been mortified.
I can just imagine what your fellow drivers were thinking. :-D
