The outcome was relatively painless, she was more suprised than anything. She took my explanation and apology and left it at that. I told her I had taken it off months before and I was just as suprised it hadn't fallen off sooner. It happened just when she got in the car so I just threw it in the trunk. Lately she's been riding in the back seat with my six year old daughter to entertain her and give stereo back seat driving, she is aprenticing my daughter in the art of back seat driving.
