Further Proof That I Have Children

Friday is my shopping day so this morning I got all the boys to school, threw Malia in the car, and headed to the store. I backed the car out of the garage and as I accelerated down the street, I heard a metallic rolling sound. Now that kind of a sound is never good when you are driving a car. Believe me, I know. I've driven a vehicle when the engine seized and another where one of the brake pads fell of and was rolling around in the engine. Rolling or grinding metal always means some kind of mechanical badness is on the horizon. So being a smart girl, I pulled over immediately...

...and as I stopped a piece of sidewalk chalk rolled down the windshield. Yup. Blue sidewalk chalk. Needless to say, that completely solved the problem. And I'm not sure I even want to know how it got up there.
