The Green Car
"Mom, are you picking me up in the green car?"
"Yes."
"Oh."
"Why? What’s wrong with the green car?"
"It’s old. Can you come a little later then?"
"No. Absolutely not. There’s nothing wrong with the green car. You’re embarrassed, aren’t you? You don’t want your friends to see you getting picked up in the green car. Listen! A car gets a person from A to B. A car is not an investment. Besides being rich doesn’t make you smarter or better. It’s a man’s character that counts, not what he owns. In the world we live in, everything is about money. We’re all judged by what we have, not by what we are. It’s a sick world we live in."
"Whatever! Can you pick me up in the side parking lot?"
"You mean the parking lot that’s deserted? Absolutely not. I’m picking you up in the front at 2:30."
"Then please don’t come in the green car. Please."
