On Wednesday I was getting ready to get in my car to go to work when I noticed my wife's van was looking a bit funny or awkward. Looking down at the tires, I noticed that one of the tires was flat as a pancake.
Cursing my bad luck, I started thinking should I pretend that I didn't see the flat tire and let my wife deal with it, which would mean my son would be late to school. And, later I would hear about the ordeal she had to go through to get it fixed.
Or, should I be a nice guy and change the tire for her?
I wanted to get into work early because of a class I had to take and wanted to get a little work done before the class. Normally, my boss doesn't care which 12 hours of a day I work.
I decided that fixing the tire would win me a few points with my better half, I changed the tire. Of course, I found that the spare tire did not have enough air after putting it on the van. And, had to run into town to fill up the spare tire.
Yep, it did win me a few points! My wife also mentioned that my little girl was so disappointed that I left for work before she woke. Being a little drama queen, she put both of her hands in front of her face and moaned "Oh man".
Normally, I try to help get the kids going in the morning, which includes making ovaltine milk for my little girl.
The other morning routine is kissing the wife and daughter, but my 7 yr old son is too old for a kiss, so we just shake hands. Although I did notice the other day, that my daughter wipes her face after I give her my good bye kiss.
Have a great day.
