Belle Weather
“My hubby isn’t alone in this. Like most women, my heart automatically sinks when I discover that I’m in line behind a dad with children at the fast-food drive-through.
The other day, I bat-turned my way into the drive-through at Crack-fil-a for what I hoped would be something quick and greasy. Just ahead of me in line was the sight that you never want to see if you’re running late: a man, late thirties to early forties, driving his wife’s Pacifica with one of those obnoxious rear window decals ...where the whole family, including the dog, cat, and bird are pictured in happy little white outlines like they were drawn by some chalk-wielding psychopath.
“Ha!” the smug decal seems to be saying. “Our family is happy and smiling and our life together is just one big, funny, happy cartoon of merriment! Even our animals are smiling, as you can see, because we are so frikkin’ happy.”
I think it would be funny to have one of those family decals showing a really skinny teenage girl barfing into a little chalk-outline bag (the bulimic in the family) or the dad figure dressed in the women’s underwear that he truly enjoys slipping into when no one’s looking.MoreLess
