Click It or Ticket

So, my husband got a ticket today for not wearing his seatbelt.

Uh, finally.

I’ve been a pesky, nagging, harassing wife for two years over this stupid, stupid seat belt issue. Put on your seat belt. Put on your seat belt. Put on your seat belt. Like a goddamn broken record, put on your seat belt.

Second to the obvious fact that I do not want my husband to die, I really don’t want my husband to come across as an idiot, and let’s face it, not wearing your seat belt is pretty idiotic. It’s right up there with doing a little crack cocaine or driving to the scene of a shooting. Idiotic, I tell you.

I just don’t get it. My husband went to college. He has a Master’s Degree. He can calculate some serious mathematical formulas, y’all. He understands the intricacies of a neuron’s dendritic tree. Apparently, however, he cannot understand the simple notion of putting on a seat belt.

Until today. Today this seat belt situation became about something my husband can totally grasp the concept of: money. Because now it is going to cost him a few bill$. It’s a damn good thing he’s working summer school.

Do I have to say it?

I think I do.

I told you so. I TOLD YOU SO.

In my defense....

Oh, who am I kidding. I am an idiot. Sorry world. It won't happen again.

Well. I should say, "Mr. Slice of Pink," (very unassuming mysterious screen name, I might mention) it IS about damn time. And, might I also add, coming from a southern girl who is trained in using such language... your wife uses the word "y'all" with the greatest of ease. If she wasn't a hip California type, she could move to Atlanta tomorrow.

Where we all buckle up.

So, just watch out.

You know, when I was a little kid, my mom's car wouldn't start if we weren't in our car seats and fastened in. The key wouldn't even turn.

Still works on my dad to this day. :) Once you get in the habit though, it will be easier. Good lesson to learn. Glad everyone is safe.
