McFly Squashed?!

Dear McFly, 
What the heck!  The weekend before baby sister was born we took you to the Smithville festival and annual car show.  We have been looking forward to this since the great all day fun we had last year.  When we drove up this year we could tell things were different.  Last year had a few bounce houses, a ton of cars and was spread out a lot more, there was a storm coming soon, and we all seemed to start out in cranky moods.  We drove up hoping to find the DeLorean we saw there previous to your Back to the Future obsession.  We had been telling you for weeks that we were going to go to this and see a real life DeLorean so you were pretty pumped pulling into the parking lot.  We got out and went to the cars and I spotted it first in the middle of your quickly shouted, "Where is it! Where is it!"  From the minute I said, "There it is!"  withdrew and got very quiet and statue-like.  We couldn't get you to pull out of it.  So the owners were very nice but you wanted nothing to do with them.  You told me you were angry they were even there and that there even was an owner and that you couldn't buy it.  So you laid limp on the side of the car. 
Where did my little ham go?  Here were were, you in your McFly get up in the midst of a real DeLorean and you couldn't move?  At one point when I tried to get you to stand up by the car you feel to the ground an laid there.  

Better yet when I tried to remove you from sitting in the car door you held on for dear life nearly ripping off the weather stripping around the door!  Holy cow! My guess is that wouldn't be an inexpensive repair on an old DeLorean!  
The owner even offered you a DeLorean Back to the Future match box car and you turned it down!!!  Were you just so overwhelmed by excitement you didn't know what to do?  Who knows.
We got to the car and you cried that you wanted to go back.  We were done with the day in around 30 minutes.  But hey! as least you got to look at a DeLorean. Daddy asked the lady if we could take some fall pictures with it to which they got excited about and said sure!  So we will see...
You're sure a squirrel sometimes.
Love, Mama
