One of the first things
that often happen after a couple gets married is the in-laws may
start dropping hints about the new couple becoming parents. I have
had people tell me their in-laws would come to their home and see a
spare room. They would then make a comment about how it would be a
perfect room for a nursery, when they are ready to be parents, of
course. These are in-laws who will talk up all the benefits of
having a child. They will also have amnesia when it comes to the
early days of diaper changes, regular feedings and experiencing more
of a baby's bodily functions than a parent wants to know about. It
seems a couple wasn't ready to be parents, but they were ready to
buy a supercharger for their vehicle. It seems to have worked out
well for them.
I imagine an
interesting conversation took place between the young couple.
“Do you feel ready to
start a family?”
“No, I know I'm not
ready for that yet.”
“Do you want to have
a pet?”
“No, I know we both
work such long hours we can't provide a pet what it needs to be
happy.”
“Do you think we are
ready for a supercharger?”
“I believe we are
ready to commit to a supercharger.”
“I can't wait to tell
our parents.”
“They'll be so
proud.”
Below are excerpts from
the story with my valuable insights in italics.
Brayden and Payton Tomicic
posted family-style portraits of them with their new “baby:”
an Eaton twin-screw supercharger for Brayden’s 2007 Ford
Mustang GT. While it’s not a traditional ‘family,’ the couple
does look extremely happy (probably because their prank worked better
then they thought it would).
I'm sure it is a
tradition that when you make a commitment to bring an Eaton
twin-screw supercharger into your family, it is important you take a
portrait with it and share it with your family. It's obviously a big
moment. You can have your boring, common, baby or pet pictures. If
you want to step out from the crowd and be unique, you take a baby
photo with your Eaton twin-screw supercharger.
Could this lead to
people having pictures being taken with other car parts like an
exhaust pipe or carburetor? I'm sure people who love computers could
have a baby photograph of their new laptop. Families in the future
could get baby pictures of their married children with their
smartphones, smart televisions or refrigerator and more. This couple
may have unknowingly started a new inanimate object baby picture
trend. I think they may not realize what pioneers they are when it
comes to the baby picture taking industry.
The Facebook post is
set up to look exactly like any other baby announcement. It says, “So
not many of you have known this but it’s finally the right time to
post this. The last two years Payton and I have been preparing for
this moment and finally, the time has come. It’s something I have
always wanted but never knew how soon it was going to happen. We have
been truly blessed this last year and finally, it is here. We would
love to welcome this Supercharger into our household! It is going to
be whining a lot but can’t wait for all of the fun!”
This couple is
brilliant. I know from personal experience, there are people who
will take this seriously. I know people who would not think this was
a joke.
I can see some women I
know reading this notice on Facebook and getting emotional.
“Look at this, Payton
and his wife finally have a Supercharger. I'm so happy for them.”
“Why are you so
emotional? They did this as a joke. It is a part for his 2007 Ford
Mustang GT. Anybody can get one if they want one.”
“Oh, why can't you
just enjoy someone's happiness for once? Not all couples can afford
to have an Eaton twin-screw supercharger. Some couples have to wait
for years to be in a position to have one. There are also couples
who have to live their lives together without a supercharger. These
people have one, and they are happy about it. Why can't you just be
happy for them?
“It's a car part.”
“So you won't be
happy until they purchase a new furnace for their house or lawn
mower? You seem to have supercharger issues. Maybe you should seek
counseling to resolve them.”
“I think you are the
one who is out of their mind.”
“I think your serious
supercharger issues keep you from being happy for other people.”
“If a supercharger
makes you so happy, I know what to get you for your
birthday.”
“What?”
“What?”
“The idea came from
seeing all the newborn photos on social media and having my mother
always asking when we are having kids," Tomicic told Yahoo
Lifestyle. “We’re both car enthusiasts and have been planning on
supercharging my car. We figured since it was our baby we would make
a little joke to tease the idea that she would be a grandma, but with
a supercharger instead."
I wonder if their mom
has fun with this prank.
“Here is a baby
picture of my granddaughter.”
“Here is a baby
picture of my grandson.”
“Here is a baby
picture of my son and his wife's Eaton twin-screw supercharger. I'm
so proud.”
“Wouldn't you rather
have a picture of a grandchild?”
“Anybody can have a
picture of their grandchild. How many people have baby pictures of
their married children's Eaton twin-screw supercharger?”
“I think you may be
the only one.”
“If you want to go
and see the little bundle of supercharger joy, I'll ask my son and
daughter-in-law to bring it over. It is the cutest Eaton twin-screw
supercharger you have ever seen.”
“I think all
grandparents of Eaton twin-screw superchargers say that about them.”
“I believe you're
right.”
I hope the family takes
time to enjoy their Eaton twin-screw supercharger. These parts seem
to wear out and need to be replaced before you know it. I'm sure
time will pass so quickly for them.
