Zoey and I were on our way to tackle the weekly Winco shopping this afternoon when I suddenly remembered I had a coupon in my handy organizer for a free car wash at Kaady Car Wash, which is conveniently located one block from Winco. I pulled in on our way to the store, since the dirt and grime on my windshield was starting to get to me.
Totally didn't think of it from Zoey's perspective.
As we sat in the line slowly approaching the car wash, panic set in. She watched the car ahead of us disappear in to the tunnel of large, loud blue brushes and then she really lost it.
"No! Mommy! No wash! Go home! GO HOME!!!"
I felt so BAD for her as I tried to reassure her that everything was fine, that the big brushes were washing Mommy's car, that Mommy wasn't going to go ANYWHERE. It was a traumatic, tear-filled three minutes in the Tunnel of Doom. But we survived.
It took an hour to navigate through Winco, a store that I HATE, and would refuse to shop at if it didn't save us so damn much money every month. Zoey sat in the cart the whole time repeating "Ah-done wash....no wash....bye-bye wash".
Needless to say, the next time I need a car wash, I'll be making that trip on my own.
