Unfixable

First it was the washing machine.

The old faithful Whirlpool, the one you received from your grandparents at your wedding. It had worked like a Swiss watch for ten years, but two Sundays ago, as you were starting the week’s laundry, it failed to turn over. You tried a boot to the side, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation; you even offered a silent prayer. Nothing. So you called in an expert – Jim from across the lane. He told you the obvious: “Compound fracture. She’ll never clean again.”

Then there was Conner’s visit to the dentist.

You knew your oldest had teeth like a British innkeeper, but you were in denial about the need for orthodontic treatment. Your family dentist informed you that the time had come for braces. You offered a silent scream when he passed a rough estimate across the counter. Well that’ll be his Christmas present.

Orthodontic Estimate: $6,750

And then the cherry on this financial nightmare…

Last night, while you were backing out of your parking space at the grocery store, you snuggled up to 2008 C Class Mercedes. And by snuggled, we mean ran Wolverines claws down the beautiful silver side panel. And you probably would have kept driving if the owner hadn’t been sitting in the drivers seat.

Garage Estimate: $1,300
