So DF says today "Sure honey I'll ride with you to pick up your prescriptions." I'm thinking to myself how nice.
A few days before I told him we could make one fell-swoop and run all our errands at one end of town, save gas and get all our people seeing out of the way for the month. Agreed? Agreed! The mall we needed to go to has the Sears he needed to return an item to and was a stones throw from my doctors office. I told him this twice. I even told him where to turn to get onto the freeway, but did he turn there? No. He turned down the road and said "Ohhhhh I thought we were going to the other mall."
Now why we would back track, and drive 20 miles out of our way to 'save gas' is beyond me, but I've learned just to go with it. So I did. I enjoyed the scenery and as we are driving I smell something. I mentioned that I think the car is burning. He scoffs. I mentioned three miles later that the car is really burining. He scoffs again and says I really should do something about that nose - (remember the nose that has found two dead moles only a day old?) So we continue driving.
Now we're about one mile from the mall and I see smoke. I mention that I really think we should pull over and he gets quite terse and says "I think I would know if the car was on fire Star." then does that man thing where he's so satisfied with his answer he's almost rolling his eyes but not quite. As we pull off the ramp he says "Wow -look at the haze, it's all the way to the top of the trees." and I said "It just looks that way because it's INSIDE.THE.CAR." and then I said nothing. We're almost to Sears, and turn into the lot and WHAM.
Well surprise of surprises - the steering gives out, and he can hardly turn the wheel, and those manly "WTH?" start. I'm just sitting there looking at my phone and I offer (of course) no womanly explanation - I've given my opinion three times to deaf ears. He pulls over, stops suddely, jumps out and pops the hood and yells "OH (can't type that here)." and then - you would think holding bits and pieces of a mangled serpentine belt literally too hot to hold he would say SOMETHING like "Honey you were right, or Wow I should really pay attention when you say the car is on fire, or That nose of yours sure is a good sniffer." But did he say any of those things? Noooooope. He shut the hood and looked at me and said "What?"
I just chuckled and said "WOW ----look at the haze on top of those trees." and smirked. I swear to you all he didn't get it - he actually looked at the trees.
ROFLM mr. goodwrench off.
