Offensive Mini van drivers

Like a lot of people, I will be the first to say that I do not want to drive a mini van. I am just not the soccer mom type. Wish I was, but I am not.

So, I noticed today that mini van drivers are on the offensive now. When I was on my way to work this morning a mini van passed me with a sticker on the front that read "Don't laugh, it's paid for". I thought, well.... that would have been a nice sticker to have when I was driving the scort. That was the pet name I gave to my blue, 1988 Ford Escort that I adored until it died in rush hour traffic one afternoon.

Later today as I was on my way to a meeting, I passed another mini van. This one had dark tinted windows and yellow letters in the back window that read "Don't laugh, your girlfriend may be in here." I was not really sure how the author really meant that, but I thought it was funny anyway. So, I have decided that if my husband comes home one day with a mini van for me to drive, that I will drive it only one condition. It must have a sun roof, automatic open and close back door, tinted windows and a sign on the back window that reads, "Don't laugh, my husband bought it for me."
