excerpt from "A Huge Mistake"
The problem was that I couldn’t wait the decades it would take until I earned enough for a car as incredible as my mom’s because Juliana, the girl I had had a crush on since eighth grade, had finally agreed to go out with me. Basically, this was the miracle I had been waiting for since I was thirteen, and miracles didn’t come around every day. Wouldn’t it be crazy, though, to pick Juliana up in a car that had cost as much as a small house, especially since I had just gotten my driver’s license? Extreme times called for extreme measures, and I decided that I would have to become extremely convincing. I began begging my mom to let me drive the car for just one evening. I reasoned, I badgered, and I pleaded until my mom became extremely annoyed, but to my amazement, she relented! She agreed to allow me three hours, and three hours only, with the car to take Juliana to the movies!
