Farewell to Bumper-Off


We finally had to say farewell to our faithful Bumper-Off (that's the name Abey and Sebby gave to our car after our accident this summer) when he wouldn't pass inspection this month. Bumper-Off was still running (although with various creaks and jerks, and fluids leaking, including maybe gas? because we were having to fill up ALL THE TIME), against all odds, even after our mechanic told us he wouldn't fix _anything else_ on this car because it would be a waste of our money. But I guess in order to renew your registration you have to have a bumper ON (a clear case of cosmetic discrimination). Abey said, "I bet Bumper-Off is glad he can finally go to the junkyard and have a nice rest."

Here are the boys making their "Bumper-Off face" (we think Bumper-Off looks like someone with his front teeth sticking out)

Is that lady in the background making "the bumper-off" face also?

I read the post and started making a Bumper Off face.

Pathetic.

I'm just trying to catch up on everything here!
