My mum was driving home after dropping me off to the station in the morning when the car suddenly stalled at the traffic light! For no apparent reason!(It has a mind of its own by the way, the windows refuse to roll up when they don't want to and the child-lock for the back doors automatically turn on and off as they please!). Mum was like Wow! Perfect timing! Now to hunt for a car mechanic early in the morning! She was a hesitating to leave the car (with open windows, coz they wouldn't roll up now that the car was stalled). To the mechanic," Hello, my car has stopped in the middle of the road. Can you send someone pls?" The mechanic,"Kya madam, who will come early in the morning. Wait for a few hours!" Wait for a few hours?? Meanwhile the traffic police was losing his cool and was yelling away, " Get the car out of the way!" Mum looked like she would shoot him! She was like "Like yea, how?"
When all this was happening, mum was thinking of walking down to the nearest petrol pump to call for a car mechanic when she saw one of the street kids at the traffic lights. Mum knew this lil' boy coz he's a naughty kid who keeps asking for money. She asked him once, " why don't you go to school instead?" He said, "Auntie, school is so boring! Who wants to go there?" That's how she knows him. She asked him if he could run over to and ask the mechanic when he said, "Don't worry, I'll look after your car here!" So we had a small street kid guarding my car right in the middle of the road till we got help!!!!! Can you believe it?
