Except the license plate is different.
The wheels are different.
And it's a different year.
Oh, and the steering wheel is on the other side.
Other than that, it's just like this one.
When she pushes a button, the hard-shell convertible top just pops up and covers the car. Just like that.
It is impressive looking, and so mechanical looking. Kind of like this:
When we first saw it, one of the boys commented how much it looked like a Transformer. He and his friend came up with a pretty creative name for a transforming car:Volvotron.
The problem is that while in the car tonight, he kept calling it:
Vulvatron.
(I'm giving you a moment to let that sink in. It's alright, it took me a minute too.)
Jon: Hey, buddy. You should be careful how you say that. It's Volvotron, not Vulvatron.
Boy: Okay (not listening, continuing with his story) My friend's mom's new Vulvatron is great, My friend's mom's Vulvatron is amazing, blah, blah, blah.
Jon: No, really. It's VOLVOtron, not VULVAtron. A Volvo is a car. A Vulva is a part of the female anatomy.
Boy: (Stops dead, hands up) Dad, seriously. I did NOT need to know that.
(pauses) It's just that I'm just not that into hearing about the female anatomy and all.

And now, at 11:00 p.m., most of the house is still up, waiting, watching the clock eagerly. For at 11:32 p.m., 11 years ago tonight, a second Price baby boy was born.
The fireworks are ready.
We must wait.
We must celebrate.
Tick, tick, tick...

At least they have the -"tron" on the end of the word. My grandma just calls vulvos "vulvas". We just shake our heads every time.
Haha! Happy Birthday Gable! (That's the right kid, right?)
Volvotron is the male version and Vulvatron is the cyborg wife version. Happy Birthday!
Jenny, do you need Jon to have a little talk with your Grandma?
Thanks for the birthday wishes, Fran and Nick. I'll pass those on to the old boy.
Ha! That's funny. It reminds me of something inappropriate I used to say when I was little. I'll tell you about it sometime - still too embarrassed to tell the world wide web...
That cracked me up.
I wanna do a Price Family Reality show...A whole season with you guys...I think it would win comedy awards...And souls! I love you guys!!
I don't know Melanie, she might be too distracted by Jon's dreads. :) And I am all for a reality show, oh man I'd probably get some tone abs from laughing so much. :)
Oh, my, my.
A reality show?
Seriously? How fun would it be to watch me wash dishes?
Yawn.
But...it did make my day...
