Okay. Makela has been talking about this for several weeks now, so it's time to put it in writing. I just *have* do a scrapbook layout on this subject! Here's the story, in her own words:
"Mommy, when I grow up, I'm going to drive a purple inverticle. [Inverticle means convertible, in Makela-ese.] It's going to have TEN seats, and be purple on the inside AND the outside. Everything in my purple car is going to be purple! Purple seats, purple lights, even the windows will be light purple."
According to Makela, it's already at the "car store," waiting for her to grow up. And "it's also upside down right now, because they are putting on the tires."
The detail with which she embellishes the story increases every time. She is so funny about this purple car. When we actually see a purple car on the road (it's more common that you think), she just about loses her mind. We even saw a bright purple VW bug one day, one of the newer models. It had a license plate that said "I LOVE PURPL" ("LOVE" was actually a heart symbol). It just cracks me up how these seemingly little things just make Makela's day.
