When Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes started dating, there were reports that her car was so dirty when they first met, Tom couldn't even get into the passenger seat.
Originally, I thought this was nonsense.After all, if I were on an early date, I would make sure that my car was relatively clean. (It's one of those "girl rules" — like smelling nice, refusing to admit you can sweat profusely, and making sure your apartment is clean when a boy picks you up.)Of course, I'm assuming that when Katie first met Tom, she thought he was a normal guy and not some sort of modern-medicine-hating, cult-believing, odd-shaped-bangs kind of fellow. Those are the kind we'll drive away with our non-lady-like behavior. (Wait a second...)
But, then there are days when I look into the back of my own car (which still might be filled with stuff that needs to go to the dry cleaners and post-move-to-Nashville objects that won't fit into my apartment/hovel), and I know that it could happen to any one of us.
