Julia’s Baby

Barb was out and Julia was home.  Ivan had to go out to get a cheque signed to pay for the umpires for his fastball league.  He asked to borrow Julia’s car.  Julia affectionately calls it her baby.

Ivan drove to Kanata to get the cheque signed.  When he left the fellow’s house, Ivan found he couldn’t start Julia’s car.  He knew the wheels had to be aligned to turn the key.  But he couldn’t straighten the wheels.  He became worried he had broken Julia’s baby.

Ivan sat out in the driveway trying over and over to straighten the wheels and turn the key.  After about fifteen minutes, Ivan went back to his buddy’s house and knocked on the door.  He told his buddy he couldn't start the car and asked him what he should do.  His buddy came out to the car.  He said he used to have a Nissan Sentra.  He got in the car.  Giggled the steering wheel and turned the key and it started first time.  Ivan felt very relieved and very embarrassed.
