Tuesdays with MeMe

John bought me a new "little" car last week. I am calling my new car "my Obama". Why, you ask. We bought this car through the "cash for clunkers" program. I hate driving my Yukon when I am by myself. It feels like I am pulling a weight behind me all the time. Now, we need that Yukon often, so I love it for when we have 4 kids and 2 car seats. This Hyundai Accent is so much fun to drive while shopping.

I picked the kids up from school in the new car. They had not seen it. When I pulled up to get them at the first school I could read Abby's lips......that's not my MeMe. Then on to the next school to get Emma and again I read her lips......that's not my MeMe's car! I convinced them by my frantic waving that I was indeed their MeMe. After everyone was buckled in and we started down the road the questions began. Then came the question that nearly made me pull over........MeMe, What is this?

MeMe---It rolls the window down

Emma---Really?

MeMe---Yes

Emma---Can I try it?

MeMe---Yes

Emma---just turn it?

MeMe---Yes

Emma--- rolls the window down

Emma---This car is cool. What else does it do.

MeMe---roll the window up

Abby---John Brady, roll your window down

JB3---How

Abby---I'll do it

MeMe---roll the window back up, John Brady, it makes me nervous for you to be by an open window

JB3---How do you do it

Abby---I'll do it

Abby---How?

MeMe---Boy, do I feel old!
