Moms and their Vans

I used to not think anything much of a mom in a minivan. That's the "typical mom" image of a soccer mom right? However, my perception of minivan moms has been skewed. Now, whenever I see a mom in a minivan my first reaction is RUN! "Why?" might you ask.. Well, lately I feel as though I have been bombarded my these prehistoric automobiles. I found a note under my windshield wiper yesterday that said "I think I might have caused some damage to the back of your car. 801-......" (she left her number) After calling her and finding out what happened.. what kind of a car do you think she was driving? Yup! A minivan. Are these cars so ginormous that you are required to have a special license to operate them? Dont get me wrong, I am grateful for the note and the phone number she left! The point is... it was a minivan! Then today, I was waiting for a parking space outside of Nordstrom..patiently waiting for a mom to load up everything into her Suburban. As soon as she pulled out, a minivan literally cut me off and zipped into the much awaited spot. This confirms my theory.. minivans are bad news. When you see them..RUN!
