Who broke into my car?

Blown Console

That's what I wondered yesterday morning when I opened the my car door and was greeted by the above. I was already running late and not feeling great. It had snowed, so I had to clear that. And now this. This was a dreadful start to the day. My inner Eeyore was in full swing.

But nothing looked damaged or missing.

Then I thought, "William." It would be a perfect little three-year-old thing to climb into Papa's car and patiently, proudly fill it with scoop after scoop of dirty snow. Great.

Blown PepperThen I saw it. Inside the console was a Diet Dr. Pepper with the top blown clean off. I hadn't been in that car for days, and apparently I'd left a little treat for myself. And after a few days of below freezing weather... boom!

The console was, as far as I can remember, closed. It must have been quite the event.
