I’m not quite sure how the subject came up, but it was one of those jaw-dropping, staring-in-disbelief moments.<\/p>\n
“What?”<\/p>\n
“Your car, man,” said Doyce. “It’s turquoise, right?”<\/p>\n
The Saturn? Turquoise?<\/i><\/p>\n
“Yeah,” agreed Stan. “Turquoise. Isn’t it?”<\/p>\n
Okay, Stan, I can imagine, because he’s never been to the house that much. But Doyce? I’ve had the car longer than we’ve known him. <\/p>\n
“It’s pink<\/i>,” I said, emphatically. “Silver pink. There’s not a bit of turquoise anywhere on it?”<\/p>\n
“Are you sure?” Stan asked.<\/p>\n
“No, it’s turquoise,” said Doyce, like I was pulling some sort of stunt.<\/p>\n
About that point, I needed to go remind Katherine is was time for her to be in her room, asleep. When I came back down, the door to the garage was open, as was the garage door, and Stan and Doyce were looking at my Saturn.<\/p>\n
“Huh.” <\/p>\n
“There,” I said. “I told you.”<\/p>\n
“Huh.”<\/p>\n
“Because it’s not like you’ve never been in the garage to get a soda or something while the Saturn was there.”<\/p>\n
“Dude, I never looked at the car.”<\/p>\n
As I said, surreal.<\/p>\n
Postscript<\/u>: Jackie came over later with cookies. “Hon, what color is Dave’s Saturn?” Doyce asked her. “Lilac,” was the response. “Metallic lilac.”<\/p>\n
That’s at least in the ballpark. Go, Jackie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
