Her parallel parking had never been good even at it’s best, but Susie loves her cute car and would never accept that she sucked at driving.
Struggling to squeeze into the little space, the scrunching sound of metal bumping into the other drew her attention to yet another mishap.
She nimbly got out to take a look, the annoyed man in the truck, unfolded his large self and stepped out to blister her ears.
Accepting her profuse apologies, he admired her smallness and attractive looks, while they settled their differences over a cup of coffee.
Five years later, Brad prefers to drive his Susie and their three young babies. She still sucks at parking.

He,he. I can manage it but not my favorite thing to do. I have a friend who’s impossible with parallel parking. Her husband helped her park properly the first time they met each other 🙂
