So I started reading the Scorpio Races last night and got about 150 pages in. This book is AMAZING. I had a doctors appointment today, so I took the book with me to the car so I could read it while waiting at the doctor office (yep, just the norm right?)

So my 2 year old son is a wiggle worm and the door refused to unlock with my key fob, so, in frustration I tossed the book on top of the car, secured my son in his car seat, then jumped in the passenger side and we took off.

About 4 minutes down the road panic began to sink in: I left my book on top of the car! We dropped the kids off and circled back toward the house and there it was, in the middle of the intersection, still perfectly new.

Then a car pulled out in front of us and ran it over.

HORRIBLE START TO THE DAY! The cover sleeve is ragged and, upon inspection, the front cover is split into about four uneven sections. Other than that, and the black tire tread that lines the outside edge of the book, it survived. I am still reading it and am thrilled that it wasn't ruined but I feel so bad for my poor new book.

Anyone else had this happen or am I the only person who leaves shit on top of the car? (I once left a cake, circled the block, and a mini van was parked on top of it. Not joking at all, the front right driver side tire was smashing the cake pan and icing was leaking everywhere.)

Wow...sorry to hear about your obvious crappy day. But hey tomorrow is brand new and I'm glad the Scorpio Races (the slightly damaged, though still readable version that is,) has found it's way back to you! :)

Thank god! I had already told my boyfriend that if we couldn't find it I was going to buy it again on the way to my appointment. :)
