Ah, the car. I did a cordial offer like Lost Rabbit suggested. He was not ready to face my father, I fear, so he contacted an old friend (he hasn't seen this guy in several years) whose father owns a dealership. He had it towed there and repaired, but I have yet to hear about a bill.

Like you, I was hoping for some true comedy to come of this, but no such luck. My father has these piercing blue eyes that can cut you to the core. (I, on the other hand, have my mother's brown eyes. They're not nearly as intimidating as my father's can be.) I guess it's easy to understand why H may want to put off being in my father's line of vision!!

Thanks for asking about that. If only something humorous had come of it . . .
