Crazy About Car Seat Covers and Someone Else
Helen was what you would consider an eccentric extrovert. She got great pleasure in being strange, and not just odd, off in the distance someplace, but at the large festival and center stage. Most eccentric people that I have ever seen, have been mostly withdrawn, and to some sense, only perilous to themselves. Not Helen.
To give you an idea, she had just bought about twenty cheap car seat covers. For what you might ask? Exactly. Well, it was almost October, and in her mind, that was when everyone would need to replace their welcome mats. What? Exactly. She considered that when fall would set in, that was definitely the season to replace these things. She took each one and when we all gathered together for the party this year, she would have one of these car seat covers custom tailored to become your new welcome mats.
Why not just purchase new mats and be finished with it? That wasn't quite possibly the strangest thing about this story. When we all came together that day, and she dragged out these spectacles of dread, you would not believe what she had had sown into the center of them. "Welcome Back Carter." That was another thing, she had never left the Carter administration. Yes, she liked the T.V series, but the mats were representative of her inability to move on from, what she considered was the greatest Presidency ever.
Don't get me wrong, we all enjoyed her dearly, but sometimes she has us all stumped. Those car seat covers never made it to their final resting place for the most part, but neither did any of us.
