Remember the two cars we drive are identical but for color...and the new dent, of course. She is not happy. Lest I think the trouble has blown over, yesterday when exasperated about something else, she said, "First you ruin my car, and now this." I did not mention that the first damage to the car was done by herself. I think that was smart, don't you? A quick repair is my only hope.
