Today’s Firstwords: “I’ll take the purple one.”
I’m beginning to see a trend here … why the fixation on purple?

Okay, so my car is smarter than I am. Also, it’s complicated. Apparently too complicated: it’s only 10 years old, and I still don’t know its quirks. This morning, after strapping Mimi in and loading up our gear, I pushed the automatic lock button and all of the doorlocks popped UP. So, of course, I manually pushed them all down. And pushed the button again, you know, as you do. They all popped UP again. After a couple of more rounds of this, and as whining increased from the backseat (not to mention the driver’s seat), I finally noticed the ‘door open’ light. From there the dominoes fell: apparently the car not only refuses to lock itself if a door is open, but it is smart enough to throw all of its locks into the air as a signal. Another reason Volvo is my dreamcar.
