Open Letter to the Mom in the Red Truck

Dear Mom in the Red Pickup Truck,

I have no idea why you felt it necessary to park diagonal across two rock star parking spaces at U.P. Elementary this morning and then sit there watching your child walk s-l-o-w-l-y into the building. I can only assume that you are new to the area which is why I’m giving you ample warning, I wrote down your license plate number and next time I’m posting it.

Love,

Merritt

    Thank goodness I don’t drive a red pick up. IJS.

    That’s funny, I just sold mine this morning after driving it to school

    What is a rock star parking space? (I don’t drive a red truck btw :-)

  • Merritt Patterson

    Sandy, rock star parking is the close spot. You know, a space so good only Eddie Van Halen can park there, it’s reserved for him. But in this one instance it’s become available for you- rock star parking!

    Gotcha! I thought maybe the school had a designated parking spot for the student (rock star)of the month or something.

    When I was at Armstrong I talked Dr. Richey into letting us auction a front parking place at the auction- but then we got too many items and decided not to use it. I always thought we could have gotten big bucks for it!

    Eddie Van Halen has a kid at UP Elementary?

    Is Valerie Bertinelli (sp?) the mom?

    Maybe she was in a hurry to get to Jenny Craig….

    Or bail Mackenzie Phillips out of jail?

    I think you call Schneider… the building super, if there is a parking lot maintenance request.

    I’ve seen the driver of that red truck everywhere . . . in the ATM line (just sitting, blocking the lane, reading a magazine I think she was), in the teller line (just sitting and leisurely endorsing checks, filling out the deposit slip), and I’ll bet it was her at the grocery store (100 items in the 15-only express lane). She must own something like 20 cars.

    I used to be a rockstar and I never got good parking. Is that because I drove a purple van & not a red pickup? Who do I call?
