Maybe This'll Work?

Bored with waiting for the baby to arrive, Kristin and I took a ride to run some errands, and despite hitting all the potholes I could: no baby; however, Agway has a prime location next to a traffic light, and you'd never guess what they had out front, so here's a photo. You can click it for a larger view.

Kristin gets all the credit for this one. "Look, 50% off!" she exclaimed knowing that I too was eyeing in disbelief the second sidecar product experience in three months as we sat at a red light. Check out the second photo. You surely know the Life Is Good line of clothing, but can you believe that they made a Jake and his dog shirt with Jake driving a green sidecar motorcycle with the dog in the sidecar? One of my students saw it this summer and bought it for me. I sent the company a photo of Lily and me for comparison, and they thought it was a hoot. The design was discontinued last year, but they had five shirts left. You know I had to buy them--hey, the baby is going to need something to wear!

Back to our story: Before the light turned green, we decided it wouldn't hurt to at least see how much it cost. You can see what happened next....

Hey, at twice the price it would be worth the smiles on our faces and the looks we got from passers-by when we put the motorcycle on the lawn next to the balloon. Keep on laughing with us--we'll need reminders of this kind of stuff when the baby is crying up a storm! Okay, I'm off to give Kristin a ride in the sidecar to bounce that baby out!
