Space Travelling


the perils of space travel


Yesterday, Mae and I decided to go to one of those baby specialty shops. We had gotten most of the stuff we need, but we decided to go anyway to see if we might have missed out anything.

I don't quite know why, but i was excited like crazy. Woohoo! We're going shopping! And my mind was swirling with images of car seats, bassinets, strollers...

The next thing I knew, I was checking Mae and Baby Jesse out of hospital. We had dressed the little guy in cute little blue jumpsuit. And he was wearing his new blue hat with his matching mittens and booties. I carried him out on his brand new bassinet car seat amidst a chorus of ooh's and ah's. When we got to the car, I fastened the bassinet onto the back seat of the car. I then got into the driver's seat.

As I reversed the car out of the parking lot, Baby Jesse cooed at me. I looked upon his angelic little face and he smiled at me. And then suddenly... WHAMMMM!!!!!!

I was shocked out of my daydream. I was reversing the car out of our apartment parking lot when I scraped the side of my car against a pillar! Oh man, what a crackerhead!!! *sigh* What's worse, it's not the first time my daydreaming led me to damage my car. My mind drifted away to space and it cost me.

Space travel is fine. It's the re-entry that burns you up. This time, it's gonna burn yet another hole in my pocket. Hmph!

    Pray that your daydreaming in your car will not cause an accident where people get injured or worse.

    Nah Weeliem, I think the sticker should read: CAUTION! New Parent driving!
    You betcha, Leo!
    *piak* Grace! :)
    No Ian, I didn't drive your Beemer. :)
    Olivia, better yet, I'll take it from his allowance someday! *hyuk*
    Quite close, Strizzt.
    Nah Mdmafia. Unlike you, I'm a poor schmuck!
    Get in line, Alvink! :)
    Fly, you pillar fetishist! Of course it's okay!
    Now, THAT's a thought, Andrea! *evil grin*
    I will be more careful, Peter!
    No kev, it's not. It needs some TLC now so I'm sending it over to you! :lol:
    Damn straight, KA. *piak* Grace again!
