Your Boyfriend Is A Car Racer Day!
He used to go out there because he loved the speed. Today, he's going out there because he's got something to prove.
"Prove that you love me and stay home today," you plead.
"You keep me in this house you won't have a man by your side. Race or not, the man I could be is gonna walk out that door today. He races, he'll come back. He chickens out, he's gone forever."
You place your hands on his shoulders. You know you can't change his mind. "I'm afraid you're going to die. Just like…"
He takes your hand off of his shoulders. "I'm not here so's you can have your Daddy back."
He pushes through the screen door and goes out to his Camaro. The engine rumbles to life. You hear his voice shout over the growling of the car. You go to the screen door.
"Baby!" he's shouting.
You step out on the front porch.
"Your old man could never handle the turns like I can," he shouts.
You nod. It's true, even your Daddy would admit to that. But your Daddy never raced for anything more than the sum total of the prize money. He was too far in debt to worry over pride.
Happy Your Boyfriend Is A Car Racer Day!
