Sign you’re growing up: You drive past a parking lot. Pretty, tanned girls in summer clothing and swim suits jump up and down on the sidewalk, madly waving a “Car Wash” sign at everyone who drives by.

You look. Of course, you look. Who wouldn’t? Hot girls in tank tops, shorts, some in bikinis.

Of course, you look.

You think to yourself, I DO need to get the car washed. It’s been a minute, after all.

Take another look. She seems eager. And so does she. And so does she.

You’ve done this before. It is fun interacting with hot girls washing your car.

And... you drive by. The reality is, they don’t really do a good job. I’ll still need to wash the car, to get those areas they neglect. They’re in it for the fun. They’re putting the fun in fundraiser.

It’s a good cause, but on those weekends you’re a baller on a budget, the car isn’t going to get washed anyway. You just repaired the air conditioner at home and replaced the spark plugs in the car. Fifteen minutes with hot girls is not going to equal a clean car.

There’s always next time. There’ll be more time, more cash in the bank, and more girls. And time to run to the car wash to finish the job afterward.

Next time.
