Animals attack your car

[timothyone]

I made the mistake of taking a couple of granddaughters out for a burger and fries in my new car. Three hours and many miles later I turned to see what my little wild one was doing to find her entire cheeseburger, missing only it's top, stuck firmly to her window, cheese side out. If I hadn't pulled it off right then it might still be there today.

I took my little cousin out for some (IIRC) yogurt after school on her first day of Kindergarten. When we got back to the house, for some reason (I can't remember exactly why) I parked on the opposite side of the street, facing traffic (in a gravel space, off the road). She grabbed her mother's sunglasses and a cell phone (mine or her mother's), crawled into my lap behind the wheel of my Yaris, and put her foot up on the dash. Her foot was jammed up against one of the heat/ AC system 'wheels' on the dash. She looked so comfortable, I didn't tell her to move her foot. The neighbor (whose house we were parked in front of) came out to pull her trash and recycle bins back (from where the refuse company needed them to be prior to emptying them). The neighbor saw us sitting in my Yaris (both with sunglasses on) and my little cousin with the cell phone pressed to her ear (a 'mock call'), and laughed. She asked "How was the first day of Kindergarten". I pointed down to the top of my cousin's head and said "She's pretending to call Mrs. _ _ _ _ _ (my cousin's new teacher who had also been the Kindergarten teacher for the neighbor's 3 kids)". The neighbor laughed and then resumed moving the trash and recycle bins back from the edge of the driveway. My cousin's foot ended up permanently pushing in the wheel...to 'sit crooked' from that moment on. I vowed that the last picture I ever take of my Yaris will be of that bent wheel.


A couple of years before that, she was giggling in her car seat and I looked in my rear view mirror to see what was up. She had taken the stickers from her bananas and affixed them to the back seat passenger side window. I ended up leaving one of the stickers on there for a LONG time.
