Chloe is deathly afraid of the car wash.

I had no choice today. Nobody could see my license plate, I couldn’t tell if my lights were working and still, that old Ally McBeal episode plays in the back of my mind.

I took Chloe through the car wash, unbuckled her five point harness thinking she would end up in my lap as I tried to sooth her as the rainbow coloured foam pelted the windows.

As we pulled in and the wheel wells started to get sprayed, Chloe said, “Don’t worry Mommy, I’m not scared of the car wash anymore. I’m wearing my bear hat.” (pink, fleece hat with ears)

“Guess who’s doing the scaring now?”
