The difference between men and women thinking

They aren’t insured, can’t afford another one, and they
haven’t got it fixed since I pranged it last week
They don’t trust me because I got drunk and got breath
tested last time
They are worried it may get stolen
They love me so much they are scared that I may get
carried away and hurt myself
They don’t realise that I can be trusted, want the car
again and wont do anything silly
They don’t think I am ready yet as I don’t have my
provisional licence yet and I am only 14
