I can't believe I did that!

I tend to be extremely shy. I'm not in the habit of initiating conversations but there is just something about a Smartie!

We were heading into the grocery store after church and much to my surprise there was a black and gray smartie sitting in the first spot. (I've only ever seen one other smartie in our town and it was a yellow one) Hubby pointed it out. I saw that it was running and sort of leaned over to see if someone was in the car...there was!

I went running over and knocked on the window just grinning. I told her my little smartie was a few spaces down and she's grinning and says "don't you just love them???" We agreed and I went inside and she went back to her phone conversation.

I was sitting here thinking....did I really just do that?

No doubt about it, there is just something about a smart!!!

Nice story.

Better than my "I can't believe I did that" story, where I crunched the underside of my car on a concrete stop.

Oh dear, do I need to change my title? I didn't mean to steal anyone's thunder!

I've said it many times, you cannot be an introvert and own this car! Welcome into the brighter and kinder world of smart!

Are you saying that I will become an extrovert now that I'm a smart owner? LOL I'm shaking my head....that would be a hoot!

smart should have a sign in each showroom that says,

"If you dislike talking to total strangers, do not buy here !"

And on the exit door after you buy your new smart there should be a sign that says,

"You have just become a smart ambassador. Represent well."

You'll end up spending an extra few minutes at each stop, be it the gas station, supermarket, parking lot at work.

You'll end up letting total strangers sit on your passenger seat to prove the roominess.

And you'll enjoy every minute.

You have become smarts greatest asset; an unpaid spokesperson.

People will even follow you home from the grocery store, and then their jaw will hit the deck when the garage door opens and there's ANOTHER smart already in there!
