Cabbage Soup

My car has an attitude problem. It’s angry at me. My passenger hasn’t fastened his seatbelt and the car can sense his presence. My car emits an obnoxious beeping until the seatbelt has been fastened. My passenger finds this amusing and takes his time. Two days later. My car is angry at me once again. I’m confused. I look to the passenger seat where my lunchbox is proudly sitting. The car can sense its presence. My car emits the familiar beeping. What is it trying to tell me, intolerable car. I tell it not to be so impertinent as I begrudgingly fasten the seatbelt around my lunchbox and think about going on a diet.
