Car Versus Apartment

DoDo asked me if I would help him to get a car. I told him that I would not help him get a car but I would help him get an apartment. He said “Ma you know I can’t afford a car and an apartment”. I told him that if he got and apartment that I would give him anything in my house that he wanted and would pay his first month’s rent. This was when he was a senior in high school. He said he wanted a car. So the conversation ended because I told him if he got his own car by himself he would appreciate it more. Well, after high school DoDo went into the Army saved his money and when got home from AIT training I went with him to pick out his 1988 brand new 300ZX. He had a big smile on his face because he had done that all by himself. In 1994 I heard this loud knock on the door and the first thing I saw when I got to the door was a great-big U-haul truck. He said he had come to get anything he wanted out of my house because he had gotten married and had his own apartment. Well I guess you know when he left my house was empty. I had to keep my promise.
