Thought I’d seen it all…uh..nope. As I was walking to my car earlier, I noticed something strange on the front bumper of a car parked next to me. As I got closer, I couldn’t believe what is was….wait for it….a FAKE BLOODY SCREAMING HEAD!!! Yep, fake as can be, but all bloody, dead and frozen as if the head had been decapitated mid scream….”That’s not disturbing at all! One hell of a hood ornament” I thought. AS IF that wasn’t WEIRD enough; I suddenly glanced at the people in the car. There was a man in the driver’s seat, 2 little boys in the back, and an older gentleman in the front passenger seat. I suddenly realized the driver had a blue, short Mo-hawk, and I looked in the back seat; and was alarmed to see both little boys had the same short Mo-hawks, both different colors too!!! One was green and the other, well, I couldn’t stare long enough to figure it out. (Not that there’s anything wrong with a Mo-hawk…ahem…”to each his own”) but those boys were not old enough to say,”Uh Dad…I’m not feelin’ the Mo-Hawk or this whole Zombie Attack thing”.
“Hmmm I wonder what mom looks like” I thought, and I couldn’t help but wonder what type of job this dad has…does he work? I glanced at the older man in the front seat, and he was just a typical looking older guy with gray hair, a beard and glasses. Suddenly I felt like my eyes adjusted, and I realized that this 80’s or 90’s era Buick (or similar type sedan); was painted Maroon, and the White lettering on the car said “ZOMBIE ATTACK VEHICLE”. NO, I swear I am not kidding. “Hmmm…Griz fans are getting weirder,” I thought (Heidi McAtee and Dave McAtee!! 😂😂😂😂). As I looked over the car, but trying to remain incognito, (as if I hadn’t noticed them at all); I noticed things like “Sargent # 41″ painted on the car, and then a big light on top like a police car. I COULD NOT believe my eyes. What is this? What’s happening here? An elaborate Halloween Costume? No, its way too soon for that. I watched the older man…he looked rather serious, and ran his fingers through his hair and sighed. I figured he had to be thinking,” How did I get roped into riding in this embarrassing car? Can I just go to one appointment with my family in a normal car dammit???? I desperately tried to get a photo since I know it would go nicely in Lara Newton’s collection of photos 😂🤣😅; and because I knew if I’d made it into a poster size, I could hang it in David’s room as a reminder of what his life could be like…but there was no way…every time I aimed my phone in their direction, some one saw me.
Later I used this as a way to show David how grateful he should be!!! I said,” See David, you think we’re embarrassing? I think not! I could be driving you to High School in the ZOMBIE ATTACK VEHICLE!! And don’t think I won’t! You do anything you’re not supposed to, get in to any trouble, stay out past curfew and you are screwed! I’m shaving my head and putting a light on top of the car and there’s nothing you can do about it!!!!!” He says, “Uh yeah mom…I’d walk”. Ok, so he got me there. But I’d still find a way…Don’t make me drive the “Mommin’ Attack Vehicle” with giant curlers on top of the roof, Huge readers across the Windshield, and blasting Donna Summer out some groovy speaker installed on the roof. Oh yeah…it’s gonna be like that.
