Since I was little I've always been one to lock car doors, in bad areas, in safe areas, in covered cars and ... in convertables? Force of habit. Running an errand for my parents on Saturday I stopped at ACE to pick up a flag holder. Stepping out of the red convertable I let the airy feeling reign and left the top down. About to push the heavy door closed, I flicked the automatic lock and began strolling toward the store.
An elderly gentleman then called out, "Miss!"
I turned to look at him, "Yes?"
Smiling, walked up to me. "Do you find it helpful to lock your convertable door when the top is down?" Still smiling good naturedly.
"Oh! Force of habit ..." I giggled embarrassed that he caught me.
What I didn't tell him was that I had quickly realized what I'd done (however, I usually don't notice and usually have to unlock the converable, chiding myself...) and switched it back to unlock. When I got back to the topless, however, I realized it was still locked ... hehe I guess I am just a dumb blonde! (at least I have an excuse ...)
