Moral of the story, don't want expensive bags because they will get your car stuck in the snow. :)

Actually, though, it seems to me that Julie was more or less resigned to the fact that she wouldn't get the bag until her meddling parents got involved.

So revise the moral. It should read: Parents, don't get stuff your child might want but may have to wait and work hard for to get on their own because if you do, they will inevitably be left in a cliffhanger predicament.

Great stuff. There will be a part two...right?
