Shaggz
A strong 7
No, she doesn't know about it yet. I need to start thinking something up. I won't use you as an excuse, don't worry.
Maybe a really good deal at the bike shop? (sort of true, just not as true as she would like it to be...).
Mrs. Shaggz took out your car and bike? Was that your C-dale?
Either Robyn is afraid of the basement or you have a very good hiding place. It should break down nicely and fit into one of your hockey bags.
Dan had a clever idea, but I hate to say it, honesty is best policy. I would go with the great-deal-you-could-not-pass-up option. Some of your bike related purchases get subsidized through school, so maybe you can do some creative accounting there.
Mrs. Shaggz - LOL, Meg will like that one. Yes, the c-dale was on the brand new roof rack on the new car, and had an altercation encounter with a roof overhang. guess what lost... $6,000, mostly subsidized by insurance, and the trance worked into the picture.
