Car Lashes

Car Lashes

First off, what are they?  Simply put, they are plastic eye lashes for your car’s headlights.  Why do I have them on my blog?  Because in response to my (annual) request for my mother’s Christmas list of what she’d like, she replied via email with only one item:  car lashes.  At first I thought “Um, really?  Seriously??”

But then I thought,

Well, mom is pretty kooky.

 

Realizing I only had a couple weeks left for online delivery before Christmas, I ordered them right away.  I replied back to my mother that one item does not constitute a list.

Three days later, mom replied with “I was only joking about the car lashes.  Here’s my list.”  Of course it was too late; the car lashes were on their way to my house.  At this point, I’m realizing that I will have to pay for shipping charges to return this item because of her little jokiepoo.  So I came to a decision:  ”Mom will be putting these lashes on her car for at least TWO weeks and taking photos.”

We decided to exchange gifts this evening (Christmas Eve).  As she tore away the wrapping paper and saw the car lashes, she burst into laughter putting her hand over her eyes in embarrassment.  It was adorable, to be honest.  I explained that she will have to apply these lashes to her car for at least two weeks, and I’m sure the realization that she would have to go to work in them set in at some point.  More laughter.  More embarrassment.
