What inanimate thing do you wish could talk?


If I could listen to any of my inanimate objects talk I would choose my car, Alvin. He already has a person’s name and sometimes I do talk to him. I think I have spent more of my time in my car than I have indoors, since I’ve been a young adult. Traveling, getting to work and school and the occasional camping trip.
Some of the best times I’ve had were either because of my car or in the car itself.
I wonder what it would tell me? I’m sure it would say that it was tired, with all of the miles I put on it over the years. I’m sure it would also ask for a tune-up because the steering is starting to shake as I accelerate.
I’ve put that hatchback through so many adventures and it’s made it through all but one. That leads me to believe that the car is a trouper and would possess a good attitude. I don’t even think it would ask for a facelift, even though it could really use on. I bet Alvin would just thank me for using him so much, and ask to be cleaned more frequently.

  1. Aw, I wish you'd let Alvin run this piece more and you had butted out a little. That would have kicked it out of the category of 'answer the question' and into the category of 'let's see where I can take this prompt.'
