Today I discovered a half-eaten grilled cheese in my backseat. It wasn’t alone either, it had friends. Dried cranberries, animal crackers, freeze-dried strawberries, a sippy cup full of milk....it was like a buffet. In fact, if you enjoy day old milk and grilled cheese, it might have made a delightful little meal.
Last week my husband got in to my car and said, “I really think that we should try to set a good example for Luke and keep our cars clean.” I had some choice words. In his defense, he was admitting to his car being dirty as well. Is it Luke’s fault? I don’t think so. He is ushered around in my car 80% of the time yet Brian’s is equally as messy (albeit minus the grilled cheese). So who’s fault is this? Time - a parent’s worst enemy.
Could I have used the time spent typing this to clean out my car? Of course I could, but that really narrows the chances that the grilled cheese is going to grow a moldy face of Jesus. If that doesn’t happen then how am I going to sell it on eBay for enough money to buy a new car? Clearly that would be counterproductive. Plus, by leaving it in there I am setting a very important example for Luke - dream big kid!
