My brother Bryan, who is funny even when he isn't trying, reminded
me of a story from when he had his first car. It is good enough that I want to share it with you-I still laugh
over the memories of this story!
When my brother Bryan had his first car, one night he was putting
oil in it. He dropped the cap, and it mysteriously disappeared! We searched and searched, and somehow Bryan was
walking backwards around his car while searching for it.
What Bryan didn't know is that I was in front of
his car on my hands and knees, looking underneath the front end. Yes, Bryan continued to walk backwards, and I was an
obstacle in his path. I took him out at the knees-backwards.
Guess you had to be there, but it was hilarious,
if you can just picture it!
We still couldn't find the cap, and reluctantly went in and woke our dad, who had to
get up around 4:30 a.m. for work.
Dad, the car expert, came out and located the cap in under 10 seconds.
It fell and landed inside the hood-apparently in a place that is common for oil caps to land inside of hoods. And then
Dad headed back to bed.
Yes, a fond memory of childhood. Wish you could have been there to see it!
