Yesterday Travis and I took a little drive up the canyon to have dinner with our friends. I had just woken up from a nap so I didn't feel like driving, so Travis offered to drive my car. Now, I rarely sit in the passenger side of my own car. (Duh, I'm the one driving it, so why would I sit there?!) As we're driving along, Travis (out of the blue) says, "Awww, my baby doesn't weigh enough to trigger the passenger air bag... how cute..." Immediately my eyes flashed up to the light that indicates whether the passenger airbag is on or off. It's supposed to be on when someone sits in the seat... except for me.
I kept slamming my butt harder into the seat hoping it would trigger; maybe I was sitting in the seat wrong and my center of weight was off... not triggering the censor. I panicked!!! It would be on for like 2 seconds and then it would go off again! I'm thinking to myself, "Something's gotta be wrong; it's the censor, not me!" However I recall Travis sitting there and the light being on the entire time. Do I need a vest with weights on it? Well gee whiz, I'm never sitting in the passenger seat of my car again!! Travis will just have to drive me around limo-style. "Charles, get me a martini!"
For those of you who are reading this thinking, "oh man, I wish that was my problem..." There are worse things. Like... think about me when I'm dead cuz I got in a car accident and the air bag DIDN'T go off. Now do ya wish it was your problem?? Yep, never sittin there again. :)

I could totally relate when I was your age. Of course, now, that's not my problem, because I now shop at the grown up ("big girl") shops. LOL I remember being thin and it was fun for fashion, but wasn't so fun for my health. It wasn't a choice and it isn't for you either. It's heredity honey... and enjoy every skinny minnie minute of it. :-) You're young and beautiful. Take lots of pictures and live it up! Wished I looked like Audrey Hepburn. I looked a little more like Janis Jopliln, or some other hippie chick, but couldn't sing as well!
Kat, don't die. Although, it does make me curious on what the weight limit is for the air bag. You are a little thing. But really I don't see anything wrong with Travis driving you around everywhere limo style...lol
After reading your blog, I had to go and see if I triggered my car's passenger air bag. I did for most of the time, but for a few minutes it didn't come on. So you're not alone.
haha, that has happened to me before too! ....not anymore though ;)
