So I pull up to the drive-thru car wash in my big grey Suburban--which we lovingly named Moby--as in the whale. All three boys loaded in as well as some bikes and snacks in the back. (This is why we have a Suburban) The car wash is a reward for the boys. They think it is like a ride at Disneyland or something. Plus it's on the way home from the gym and a favorite park.
So I give the guy my card and nicely ask, can I have a towel for my dash and some of those free air fresheners? He says of coarse and leaves to run my card. He returns with my card and the goods. Normally I get 1 towel and 1 or 2 air fresheners. This guy returns with 2 towels and 6 air fresheners. I appreciated the generosity, but seriously did my car smell that bad as I rolled down the window? Did it look that dirty? Perhaps the noise and "yahoo the car wash!" coming from the back indicated that I might need more than the average car wash patron?
Anyway, I thought it was a really good deal for $7. Clean fresh smelling car and three happy rewarded boys. I can overlook the possible insinuation that I am dirty and smell.

If you were me the guy would have said "you stink I'll throw in some extras" maybe he thought it was like at the bank when they send lollipops for the kids...but with air fresheners for their rooms or something:) my kids always cry and scream (not Kyle) the whole time. Luke would be disappointed in Sadie:)
I love it! Great story and I really miss you guys. I am trying to recrute my fam to come out west to live. Everyone needs to be a closer!
That's awesome. I love it when my boy gets us free stuff!
