Male Parts

I embarrassed myself again.

 

There’s this guy who wants to buy a bright orange Volkswagon bus from us, but my parents have the title tied up in some very mysterious place that is very hard to get to so I have to keep putting off the guy who wants to buy the bright orange Volkswagon bus.

 

He emails every few weeks.

 

Our most recent email exchange left me chuckling in embarrassed horror and wondering why I would ever, ever call myself a writer.

 

See for yourself:

Hey,

 

Just checkin in and seeing if there are any updates on that title since we last spoke. Let me know, and hope all is well!

Dear Lover of Bright Orange Volkswagon Bus,

 

The news is the male part of the owner couple has had some health issues. They won’t be doing anything except hospital tests for awhile. 😉

 

I admire your persistence. I so wish I could tell you something different!

 

Sincerely, Me

Dear You,

 

Hmmm… Im not too sure what the male part of the owner couple means, but just keep me posted please. This bus is my dream and this deal would be a deal come true.

 

Thanks for putting up with me.

 

Sincerely, Lover of Bright Orange Volkswagon Bus

Yet another instance where the dialogue in my head doesn’t come out to the rest of the world in an appropriate manner. As you know, because you have the whole story, my dad has been in the hospital this weekend. And he’s male. And the owners are a couple so he’s the male part of the ownership couple.

 

Yeah. I didn’t actually say that, but I figured he could read between the lines. Because he’s a mind reader or something.

 

I am an idiot.

 

Yet I’m very impressed by the level of commitment to the Bright Orange Volkswagon Bus.

 

Hope you keep your male parts in good working order. Good bye.
