We have been promising the girls that we'd buy a third car for months now. We searched dozens of options online. We couldn't come to agreement on what to buy. Sometimes the girls would agree on a car and we'd veto it. Sometimes we'd find a car and they wouldn't like it. Most of the time one parent and one girl would agree, but the other two wouldn't.

Saturday the three of them came to agreement on a vehicle. I was at a Girl Scout meeting, so I heard about it when I called to check in. The girls were very, very excited.

The winning vehicle was a four door red FIAT with a sun roof. It had all the toys you would want from a heated steering wheel to a terrific sound system.

We went back tonight to sign the papers. Daddy went first with the girls to get the process started. By the time I arrived after work, the girls were no longer excited. They were bored -- really, really bored. It turned out that the actual paperwork involved with buying a car was not as exciting as the process of choosing a car.

When we finally drove their car off the lot, they were excited again. They had a safe, fun vehicle. They couldn't wait to show it off to their friends.
