In effort to not write an epic novel about the incident pictured above I am going to provide you with a few cut and dried facts and let you fill in the details.
* The car's occupants included one female, 6.5 months pregnant and one hungry and grumpy 18 month old.
* The incident occurred during rush-hour. More than twenty-five miles from home.
* The driver's cell phone battery was dead.
* The driver's husband was in Nashville.
* The driver's cell phone charger had somehow hitched a ride to Nashville with her husband.
* She was also scheduled to lead a small group of 10th grade girls at 7:00 p.m.
* A decision was made to ignore Dad's advice against driving on a flat tire for fear of ruining the wheel.
* Fear of being swiped by a speeding SUV on Loop 12 superseded the fear of replacing a tire.
* A Fina station with two very kind employees was found.
* As one worker changed the tire the child was fed a nutritious dinner of Ritz Bits Cheese Sandwiches and Tootsie Rolls.
* It was a long drive home on side streets and access roads.
* Upon arriving home the driver found this display on her kitchen table...exactly as she had left it .
Yes, that is an application for Triple A including pre-approved trial membership cards good until the middle of November.I think that might be what they call irony.
