Ryan and Nolan came over for dinner last night, and for the first time in far too long, I ate dinner with my entire family.
While we sat at the table and ate, Anne told us that she is thinking about getting a Mini Countryman when she pays off her Cooper S.
“I like the way it handles, and I like the extra space that it has. It sort of feels like my Mini, but there’s just more room inside,” She said.
I said, “Oh! So that means that maybe I can get the little two-seater Mini when my lease is up?”
“Isn’t that a mid-life crisis car?” Ryan said.
“No,” I said, “A mid-life crisis car is something you buy so you can drive around and try to pick up twenty year-old girls.”
Without missing a beat, Nolan said, “Oh! Can I have a mid-life crisis car? That sounds like something I could use.”
He’s twenty-two, and clearly has my sense of humor.
You know, you can also tell Ann the Mini Countryman just has a kick-butt 2013 season in GRC . .

I thought they were still kids, and for one troubling minute thought you guys had split up and were living in separate households :(. Glad to hear all is well in Wheatonville!
Love it! 🙂
I maybe slow and not the first to notice this but your kids are named Nolan and Ryan.
Mini is great forAnne but you need a dodge Magnum, just sayin!
My son’s response on who he get’s his height from has always been “the mailman, because the milkman was short”. It started when he was 12 – and 6’4″. I dunno exactly where he gets gets his sense of humour from! *whistles as I aimlessly wander away*
Ohhhh, you walked right into that one! On another note, didn’t the Scalzi’s get a Mini Countryman?
So do you call the Mini Cooper “Dr. Cooper” or just “Sheldon”?
