Birthday Adventure
She was driving down the road minding her own business. She focussed on the directions she had to follow to get to her destination. Her husband said it was where they would meet to celebrate her birthday. Though directions were simple to follow, she had no idea where the end destination was.
As she drove she could hear car horns honking. She kept looking in her rearview mirror but saw nothing amiss.
The directions now led her off-road on a dirt path for a short period of time. It was there that she noticed the car behind her. It was a red BMW with tinted windshields, so there was no way to identify the driver.
As she left the dirt road and proceeded to the highway again. She again heard car horns. Not only that, when she looked out of the side windows at passing cars, everyone seemed to turn towards her and give her a thumbs up. What was going on?
After a few more exits, turnoffs, and re-entering onto crowded roads, she noticed that the red BMW was still tagging along behind her. She became concerned. Something was not right.
She thought about pulling over and getting out of the car, but with that BMW following her, she didn’t feel it was safe. Cars continued to honk and drivers continued to give her a thumbs up.
There was just one more direction to follow, which she did and then came to a stop at a rustic old cabin, her destination.
She looked behind and the BMW was no longer there. She hadn’t noticed that it had passed her at the last turn.
Slowly she got out of the car. There was no one in sight. She walked up the porch steps to the door of the cabin. She was about to knock when the door opened and her husband stood there for a moment and then grabbed on to her and gave a long passionate kiss.
“Well, did you like it?” he said.
“Like what?” she said totally confused.
“You mean you didn’t look at your bumper sticker?”
“No,” she replied. “I didn’t have time, and there was all this honking and a red car was following me.”
“Then you must not have read the license plate on the BMW either.”
Now she was totally confused. How did he know it was a BMW?
Her husband took her hand and walked her to the back of the car and pointed to a sign on the bumper which read, “HONK TO WISH ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.”
She didn’t know what to say. That’s when her husband slipped away, behind the cabin. She heard a car start and then coming around the cabin was the red BMW. She looked at the license plate, as her husband stopped the car and stepped out. It read “4EVERURS”.
“Happy birthday,” he said. “I hope you like your new car.”
They spent the weekend at that cabin in the woods. Needless to say, it was the most memorable birthday she ever had.
