Little red car

We had to run some errands today but John took my car to get new tires. We have an extra car from many years ago, a red convertible Mustang. It's old, but it's still fun and fast. Just Tara and I were going, and she wanted to ride in that. So I figured it was time to rev it up. She came outside with her sweatshirt tied around her waist, asking for her sunglasses and hat.

Off we went, stopping here and there. I would turn around and glance at her in those sunglasses, she would give me that broad smile. Sometimes she would be staring upward at the sky, the sunshine on her face. She was holding her hat; her hair was flying all around. She thought that was funny.

Finally when were finished with our stops and were cruising in our neighborhood, I told her we were very close to home.

"Oh, maaaaaan!" she said. What's wrong, Tara? I asked.

"I didn't get my turn to drive," she said.
