Cars

Myles is always talking about what kind of car he wants when he turns 16. He is truly obsessed with it. Well the other day a guy at work gave Brad a car stereo to use for building a radio box for use in the big rigs. So Brad brings in the old car stereo to Myles. He tells Myles that to save money we are going to start gathering car pieces as we find them and with any luck we will have enough to build him a complete car by the time he turns 16. You should have seen the look on Myles' face. His eyes were as big as saucers!!!

Tonight after dinner Myles started in again on the subject of his future wheels. So Myles mentions that he sure wishes they made electric cars so that he didn't have to worry about gas. Brad tells him "they do...but they don't go very fast". Myles asks "so how fast?". Brad "well fast enough to go on the freeway, but that is it." Myles "well I wasn't going to street race with it, jeesh!"

Our Quote for the day has been requested by Brad.

"Rules for Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.(That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. Dogs and cats are better than kids ...they eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink, don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions, don't wear your clothes, and don't need a gazillion dollars for college - and if they get pregnant, you can sell the children." -- from a funny email

I almost spit out the coffee in my mouth as I read and pictured the look on Myles' face! That is hilarious and yet so mean at the same time. Brad learned that from my dad.
