Too Many Car Analogies

Too Many Car Analogies
RED + BLACK - Too Many Car Analogies

This seemed like the perfect teaser to run as Black made not one, but two, unexpected "people" analogies this week. The first came when Red's innocent enough visit to her beloved Dunkin' (Donuts) first led to disappointment and then amazement in Black's Coffee … Analogy. That analogy was about adults, but Black's next one was about children (a bit surprising given she doesn't have any) in Parenting Advice From The "Mayor" Of Munchkin City?

But what made these analogies unusual was neither referenced cars or racing. Although Black couldn't let an entire week pass without talking about those topics, as you can discover in A Perfect Day For A Convertible. And For Chutzpah.

Curious about the "Back Story" to our animation teasers? Red's daughter, Sawyer, told us we needed to do some very short animated "teasers" … so Black said, "Great. You want to work in video production. Take the final working versions of our animation and start creating them!" So, she did!

P.S. – For those of you who've met us or seen us at speaking engagements, we'd love to know if you think the animators have accurately captured us! (You can email us at Banter@RedandBlackBooks.com.)

Who Wants To Listen To … Blah - Blah - Blah?
RED+BLACK - BLAH BLAH BLAH

Ever feel like no one listens to you? Red often feels that way, but maybe instead of complaining, she should think about whether there’s a better way to communicate. And if there might be times when borrowing some of Black’s “beloved bullet points” might be just the answer.

Safety Is Boring. Be Boring.
RED+BLACK - Safety Is Boring

When was the last time you thought about safety (whether being prepared in case of a fire in your house or merely trying to avoid preventable injuries at work or home)? Yes, it’s boring … but the time to think about it isn’t AFTER the fact.

It’s Tough Being A Mom
RED+BLACK - It's Tough Being A Mom

Black doesn’t “do” nice. And doesn’t have children (race cars don’t count!). Which made what she said about Red “being a mom” even more surprising; no, make that shocking, to Red. But it did make Red wonder if other moms, or for that matter, other people, ever see moms from that perspective.
