FAVOURITISM

I leased my very first car almost two years ago. I'm a very indecisive person by nature and so you can imagine how difficult this decision was for me.. to settle on ONE vehicle and agree to pay for it for x amount of years. But in the end, it seemed like an effortless decision.. I have dreamy eyes when I look at my car and my heart pumps hard when I drive it.

Dre drives another vehicle *shoutout to the best kuya in the whole wide world ever and ever*. And he loves this car - loves the sport-luxury combined into one beautiful beast. Loves everything about it.

I feel like we are two parents combining our families.. of course that has its ups and downs. It takes some- in this case, A LOT - of readjusting and getting used to the other person's children..or vehicles. I don't know how it happens but sometimes I end up with his car and sometimes he ends up with mine. (But we're a family now, what's mine is his and what's his is mine. And we are to love eachothers as if they are our own!)

Driving stick is not my forte.. I tend to get my passengers nautious, nervous and/or reaching for the door handle as soon as I come to a stop.. or a mixture of all three. I can't sip on my tea while I drive Dre's car - let alone putting on plum lipstick (which requires much attention, btw). And pressing on three different pedals using both feet gets pretty difficult when you wear 4 inch heels. But I still love the car...

Dre won't admit it but he is playing favourites (BAD parent) with our children - i mean vehicles. He looks at my child like it's a nuisance .. evidence: "This car's just a hinderance". (BAD parent! I mean 'driver'). I ask him to wash it when I don't have time and I get the 'okay, later' but it never seems to happen. But you'd be lucky to see HIS child all dirty with mud and snow mold. (I don't neglect my car, I just am so awful at cleaning cars.. It's almost like I was blind when I cleaned it because half the car is still dirty.. it's impossible.) Moreover, my child's trunk handle recently failed and just yesterday I discovered that my windshield washer fluid system is not working.. (perfect for all this above 0 weather). Anyway, upon delivery this sad news to Dre last night, his "ugh" face appeared and there he goes playing the favouritism card.

Moral of the story is that playing favourites is a cruel practice; I love my car but it's quite clear that Dre loves his car more. Quit denying it Dre!!!
