“Oh, I wish …”
How often do you hear the exasperated lament, ‘if its not one thing, its another’. I heard it again the other day.
You know the scenario – mother (M) buys teenage daughter (D) a small car and thought D would be pleased and appreciative. The intention was to encourage D to enter a promising career located across town. Well, that bit worked and M was sure that deep down D was pleased, but appreciative of the car? D didn’t show too much – the exterior was muddy, the interior was a rubbish dump and there were odd mechanical noises.
So what could be done to keep everyone happy? M was worried Darling D was too careless with such a valuable and useful asset and maybe that she’d bought a banger.

“Poor old M. She is suffering the pangs of all parents – have I done enough; am I over protective; am I too soft; did I potty train her properly; where the hell is her Father when I need him; et cetera ad nauseam?
One thing M might try is to sit the vacuum cleaner, a bucket and sponge on the front seat and a note under the windscreen wiper saying CLEAN ME, OR ELSE …!! Or it could say, I SUPPOSE THE HOOVER AND BUCKET ARE NO BETTER THAN A WINK OR A NOD TO A BLIND MAN, BUT HEAR THIS – I’VE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY!
Excellent!
