Practicality - should be a Four letter word!

Roger and I have been talking about getting rid of the Volvo and getting a bigger car. I hate to sound like a stuck up American but its just not big enough once all three kids and bikes and scooters and beach toys and such are in - well...they just all don't fit.
And because Roger and I have moments of illogical thoughts we said Let's get an Escalade. And then we said - No Lets get the Escalade ESV - the one that has the full third row and still extra room for my double stroller. Who the F do I think I am and am I made of money????? Although to be honest we found some used ones online for a really nice price. So very long story short I went to test drive the Suburban just to see if I could even drive something that size and I seemed to be able to. Then I thought and thought and thought and overly thought and obsessively thought about it and snap just like that I said 'this is insane! I don't need an Escalade! I need something more practical and economical and something that doesn't cost $80 to fill up - choke, gasp, cry - a mini van.' Roger said NO! And I'm certainly not anti-mini - I mean I drove one before I had kids and was even married as a company car...they are very handy and practical....there is it.....practical.
So Roger starts throwing out van ideas and I am deciding quickly this was all a bad idea. I should have just shut up and never said anything and I keep saying things like 'no no that's ok - the Volvo is great. We'll just make it work. Its all good.' And I reminded I'm at his mercy with the whole not having a job thing - so I get what I get and Roger is good at buying things and 'surprising' me. I'm starting to panic a bit and thinking of ways to distract him from the topic.....sex...lets talk about sex....or the kids....or yes yes I have it...all the money we will save if we just keep the volvo and forget this whole big car conversation ever happened.....

SOOOOOO....I open my computer today and see this.....just taunting me......
