Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday, March 1, 2000 - Page 20 Driving Me Crazy You drive me crazy." There was a time when my wife said those words, and that was a good thing. Now, when she says mose words, it is with a different tone and a different mean- Its ing. more like, by Gary Torres YOU DRIVE ME And after being married and having kids, I have come to decide that it is the little things that will eventually drive a person CRAZY!!!" crazy. There are things, that when we were dating, I found so cute. The way she crinkled her nose, the way she doted on me and picked the lint from my sweater, how she baked me pies, how she called me her After 19 years of marriage, some of these things drive me It is one of Bubbas happiest moments when he gets to mimic her and say, crazy. Com-o- n Muffin-Cupcak- dem e, boys aint gonna wait, dey wanna go rat now. And then he snickers. But it is not just her, I think that I do things that drive other people crazy. For example, when I am in my ol truck I turn my blinker on and then drive around for days. Now, I have to say that there is a perfectly good reason for this. First, eventually Im gonna turn that direction so this saves time. Secondly, as I have explained before, my truck is classic and not all the parts work all the time (when you get as many miles as my truck, all your parts wont work either). The blinker just doesnt turn off by itself. You have to click it off after you make the turn. That takes way too much effort remember little things like turning it off when I have turned left, but not when I have turned right. I know that this drives my wife nuts. Sometimes I do it just to see how long she can stand it before she blurts out, Your blinker is on!" Most people would say, Thanks and turn it off. Not me, I just say, I know and keep driving around. What ya going to do when someone says that? She has a strong urge to reach over and whack me on the forehead, Youre driving me crazy! Whack! Tim the dang blinker oft! Based on some ofthe hand gestures Ive seen, I think it bothers a few other drivers too, or perhaps they are just waving, I cant tell for sure. As I get older I find there are more things that drive me crazy and more things I do that drive others crazy. Its on my part, besides I cant the little things like not remember. Add to this the fact putting the toothpaste cap that my blinker does turn off back on the tube of toothpaste, when you turn the other leaving the toilet paper holder Or worse yet, getting direction, so it takes a great empty. roll of toilet paper, and not deal of concentration to a We Don't Like It You Don't Get It!
