ON THE BACK BURNER

They are starting those ads for Christmas cars, tied with a red ribbon. But there is a new gimmick. Instead of one car, there are two. His and Hers.  But the catch is that  she wants his. Dang. I never even got the one car with the red ribbon. I have had two not so secret wants. A new car , in my driveway, with a big red ribbon around it. And, for an ownerless dog to follow me home. Last year, when I said this, I still didn't get the car,  but  a funny friend sent me a toy car. I am still waiting for a dog to follow me home. Maybe because I already have a dog and a car, I don't get either in this manner. There is something so surreal about the thought of finding a car in a driveway. I have a few questions that need answering. One , how did it get there without anyone in the house knowing it. Two,  who gets such expensive presents. Three, what did the husband do  that had him getting her such an expensive gift. Now about the dog. I have a better chance of that still happening.
