Accidental Tech Queen: A Tale of Love, Jealousy, and the Magic of Automatic Car Starters
So, my boyfriend's a mechanic, a real jack-of-all-trades, which is absolutely awesome. It's like living with a walking, talking Swiss Army knife. Need something fixed? He's on it. Something's broken? He's already repaired it before I've even figured out what happened. But here's where it gets interesting: One chilly morning, my hands full, I accidentally hit my keys and discover—my car has an automatic starter. The thing roars to life like it's been doing it just to spite me all these years.
I come running inside, screaming, 'OMG, OMG, it started! My car's possessed!' Picture the scene: chaos, confusion, and a mechanic boyfriend trying not to laugh his head off. He explains, 'Babe, it's an automatic starter. You just never used it.' Mind. Blown. It was my turn to discover fire. Suddenly, I'm strutting around like I'm the queen of technology, starting my car from the kitchen, just because I can.
But then, the plot thickens. My newfound power becomes a source of envy. That's right, his truck didn't have one. And there I was, flaunting my automatic starter like it was the crown jewels. The look on his face every time my car purred to life and his didn't? A mix of admiration and a tiny, tiny bit of jealousy.
So, what's a girl to do? I had to level the playing field. I got him an automatic starter for his truck. Because in this house, we believe in equality—equality of convenience, that is. Now, we're both strutting around, starting our vehicles with the push of a button, like we're the automotive royalty of the neighborhood.
Let me tell you, nothing says 'modern romance' quite like the gift of never having to enter a cold vehicle again. It's the little things in life, folks. And if your relationship doesn't include giving each other the gift of laziness, are you even trying?
