continued from here...
"...and we are back from our commercial break!" announced the host.
"Can you PLEASE tell me what the grand prize is?" I begged.
"Yes, I will tell you! The grand prize... is..." the host paused, then lifted the sheet off the large object to reveal...
"...a brand new BeeMW convertible!"
"Oh wow oh wow oh wow..." I repeated.
"This dazzling red BeeMW convertible comes fully loaded, with brilliant-white LED lights, a ConnectedDrive dashboard to keep you up-to-date with online services, and titanium rims. Get ready to get behind the wheel of a BeeMW! Now how much do you think is the manufacturer's suggested retail price, BB$10,000, BB$50,000, or BB$100,000?"
"Hmm... BB$10,000," I said.
"Are you SURE? Are you absolutely SURE?" the host cringed.
"No, no... I mean BB$100,000," I said.
"Are you SURE?" the host asked again, wincing. "Are you absolutely SURE?"
"No, no... I mean, BB$50,000," I said.
"He says BB$50,000," the host repeated. "And the actual price is... *DING DING DING* BB$50,000!"
"Oh wow oh wow wow," I stammered.
"You are the winner of a brand new BeeMW, Ajdin! Why don't you hop in there and drive your new car off of our studio lot?"
I got in the car. The steering wheel felt good in my paws.
"And don't forget your other prizes," the host said, putting the jar of honey and PawPad in the passenger seat.
I took a deep breath and smelled that new car smell.
"And that's all for today's show on... THE PRICE IS RIGHT!" the host said. "Congrats to Ajdin, who is about to drive off in his new BeeMV convertible!"
I put on my seat belt. *click*
Then I put my paws on the steering wheel.
Then I realized... that...
"...I don't know how to drive!"
Congratulations on winning the big prize! You can pretend to drive for now, and may your seKretary can teach you. Is there room in the car for a stuffie friend or two?
ReplyDeleteI'll come pick you two up... as soon as I learn how to drive. That may be a while.
DeleteYou also need a license!
ReplyDeleteOk I guess I have to go to the DMV then
DeleteOr the Bee-MV?
DeleteDon't forget insurance.
ReplyDeleteThis is becoming beary complicated to have a car.
DeleteSo true. Don't forget taxes either. You will turn into Uncle Tibbs and only get bills in the mail instead of cool cards and gifts.
DeleteDo I have to report this as prize winnings on my taxes? *Sigh*
DeleteYou'll need to get your car registered too. They'll give you a fun sicker.
ReplyDeleteUgh... beary complicated.
DeleteAnd don't forget repairs and maintenance! Owning a car is a beary expensive thing. Mind you, I love the colour!! You look good in red! Congratulations. You could always sell the car and buy honey with the proceeds??? Or does your prize show allow you to choose cash instead of the car?
ReplyDeleteRepairs? Maintenance? Sounds like I need an increase in my allowance.
DeleteDon't forget gas? Perhaps you should look into a part time job at the honey factory or the salmon cannery?
DeleteI almost forgot about gas. It almost seems like having a car is not worth the hassle... registration, driver's license, repairs & maintenance, insurance, gas. Perhaps if I just look cute, my mom will pay for me.
DeleteHello Austin, hope you have a beary good day!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget about the stress of driving in rush-hour traffic. You could go from being a beary easy-going bear to one who tries to eat the steering wheel...
ReplyDeletemo' money, mo' problems
