Brooke is a wonderful person, but like us all we have our faults (I will spare you mine - too many to count). Brooke's - putting things on top of the car and forgetting all about them.
1. Phone #1. We had to buy a new phone because Brooke put one on top of the car while working in the yard or garage. I drove away and the phone crashes to the ground. We found the phone smashed to pieces a small distance from our home.
2. Phone #2. The second time, by chance or miracle, the phone stayed on and worked, it was even raining while I drove around for an hour with it on top.
3. Keys #1. While going on our trip to Portland I heard a scratch up on top of the car. I pulled over and Brooke looked up to see that she had left her key on top. Luckily it didn't fly out into the intersection.
4. Keys #2. Last week Brooke left her key again on top of the van. I went to Albertsons to get some meds for the kids. Brooke woke up to take the kids to school and couldn't find the keys. She started stomping around blaming me! She loaded the kids into the Volvo and realized her mistake. She back tracked my steps to Albertsons and found the keys in the middle of the intersection a mile away from our house. The key still works, but the clicker is destroyed.
5. Books #1. Today at church Brooke said she couldn't find her manual and asked me to go look for it in the car. Guess where it was? On top of the car.
Good thing we love her and will keep her around!

I love that girl!
There is no way I could reach putting anything on top of my van. The top of the car is probably eye's length for her. ☺
I loved the phone story. But the manual? Too funny! Maybe you should line the top of the car with velcro and anything else she might stick up there.
Can't believe you found the keys in the Albertsons intersection? That's really amazing.
I can't think of any other faults for Brooke either.
Hello, she's exactly like her mother! Remember when mom left her planner on the car and found papers flying around everywhere? And I think it got ran over too. I guess it's better than leaving a kid OUT of the car, huh? Liser just did a new post too, so check it out.
And Ethan, holy chunker!! He's got little boobies now!!
Ever heard of cupping? Brooke may like it... LOL

that is so great! I did that a couple times too when I had a little Ford Escort... no chance of me doing it now with a van... but oooohhhhhh how I loved to read this blog!!!
(:
That's a pretty trashed looking clicker there. Don't worry Brooke-I once left a bowl of leftovers on the car and it survived all the way home.
Anna,
She has done that too! But it didn't survive.
