Did you make it over here with me?

I suppose if you’re reading this, the answer would be “yes”.

My mom got a new car this week. Finally. She’s been driving this white minivan for years, which seriously downgraded her coolness.

So she bought a Toyota Matrix. I think mainly because the trunkage area is so large. And although it’s a vast improvement from a minivan, it’s kind of a goofy little thing. I don’t know why, exactly, but when looking at the rear of the vehicle, it looks like it’s wearing highwaters.

“That makes absolutely no sense,” you say. “Explain yourself.” I can’t. It was just the first thing that came to mind when I was following her in my car. High waters.

Okay, maybe not high waters. Just very high-waisted. That seems more descriptively accurate.

My mom’s new car is wearing very high-waisted pants.

Next thing you know, it’ll be trying out for first tuba in the marching band and shopping for a new pocket protector.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
