One day as Lois and her sister Wilma are playing outside, they see their father driving an all gold Cadillac. Such a car was considered for only rich people and they were filled with excitement as he drove into the driveway. When their father opened the door he shouted, " Go get your mother and I will tell you all about it"
Lois and her sister couldn’t have run faster, they went into the house and through the kitchen where their mother was. When they told her about the new car she had an astonished look on her face and refused to come out. Lois and Wilma were really surprised why their mom wouldn’t come to see the car, but they were too eager to see it for themselves that they ran outside without anymore questions.
The whole block came outside to see the car, and standing next to it looking very proud was their dad. Immediately Lois and Wilma went for a ride, the car had such a smooth ride and great look. Finally when they returned home, their mom was standing outside with an angry look on her face.
"What is wrong" said our father " It’s brand new"
"What was the problem with our old car, it was working fine." said our mother
"We both agreed that the money would be used to buy a home in a better neighborhood she said.
She then went inside the house looking angrier than before. My father had puzzled look on his face but went inside to talk to his wife. Lois was very confused and couldn’t understand why their mother did not enjoy the car as much as they did.
The next day all the uncle’s and aunts came and visited them. When they saw the Cadillac and heard that mother would not ride in it, they were all shocked. Father did not seem that happy anymore about his new car and decided to take it down south to visit his parents. The whole family was shocked to hear him say that, they all new that when the white people down south see a colored person driving an expensive car, he will end up in big trouble. They all tried too talk him out of it but he already had his mind sat. It was his car and he felt he could drive it wherever he pleased. Mama decided that she had no choice but accompany her husband, even if it means driving in the new Cadillac. On there way down there, they got stopped by the police twice and were accused of stealing the car. When they finally made it to their grandparents house, their father decided it was best to sell the car, get the mercury back, and save up for a new house. With this decision, everybody was happy, and even though Lois missed the Cadillac, now they can be a closer family
