Families and Mini-Vans
My family (and keep in mind we are many, many states away from each other and I have pointed out numerous times that they are weird) bought a mini-van the other day.(Also remember that my dad wrecked his car so my family had to buy a new car.)
Here's the thing. It's not unusual for a family with kids to buy a mini-van. UNLESS THE KIDS ARE GROWN UP, ARE OF LEGAL DRINKING AGE AND DRIVE THEIR OWN CARS EVERYWHERE. And oh, yeah...ONE (me) DOESN'T EVEN LIVE IN THE SAME TIME ZONE.

Look at that sentence again and analyze what you said. I don't think anyone is allowed to say "mini-van" and "cool" in the same sentence, unless the mini-van is being kicked by cool boots.
1) I'm not surprised that Amanda thinks the Mini-van is cool. I picture you Mom & Dad saying: "Wanna go for a ride? and Amanda perking up and yelling "Shotgun!"
2) Any middle-aged couple who buys a minivan with no kids to schlep around to soccer practice and leaves a Corvette in the garage is a little strange. Aren't two-seater sports cars in warm climates standard parental equipment when the kids are grown?
