Loca Grande told Princess it wasn't worth $150 to rent the scooter she needs after her surgery next week...

Princess can't walk on her foot for at least 8 weeks after the surgery, and even though Loca promised all spring she would rent and pay for the knee scooter, here it is less than a week away, and Loca tells Princess it costs too much. Princess was all stressing, so I told her to call her mother back and tell her to forget it; i would take care of it.

So Princess does exactly that! "mom, forget the scooter. Since you are making such a big deal about it, and stressing me out, Last-Wife is going to get it for me.... No, no, it's okay. That's why she works a second job; to get us things we need. No, really. I can see her at the computer and she's already filling out the form to get it.... No, Mom, Last Wife got it.... Yeah, well, you missed your chance to help me. Last Wife always steps in when I need it.... Yep, bye."

Awesome. I actually did a step better than renting. I found one for sale on an internet site, and we're going to go get it Friday, so we can have it when we go to the hospital Monday. Really proud of Princess... and gloating a little about my victory, once again...
