Three friends and I were hanging in a minivan (hip, huh?) waiting for our mothers to stop chatting and come out of the restaurant. Just hanging, listening to music, normal stuff. Suddenly on of my friends glanced out of the window and said, "Hey, Mister, I want your car!"
A red, sleek, brand-new looking car had pulled up next to us. A man stepped out of the vehicle. As all of us ogled from behind the tinted glass, an idea came into my head. As usual, I didn't stop to consider any possible consequences. I just took my idea and ran with it.
I swung the van door open, and without looking anywhere in particular, I yelled out, "I like your car!" Then, still using the momentum from throwing the door open, I shut it with a loud bang.
Behind me, everyone was laughing so hard tears were forming in the corner of their eyes. The adrenaline of that simple moment cleared my head and made me grin from ear to ear. I turned back to see how the man had reacted. He just laughed and walked into the restaurant.
