Power of Persuasion

Maggie is 15, and learning to drive. Tommy has been car shopping a little bit in hopes of finding the perfect car for her by her 16th birthday. According to Maggie, (who has previously been uninterested) the search is over! She has fallen in love!

The new Dodge Challenger!


She has begged and pleaded - but her daddy hates her (according to Maggie!) and will not relent! He actually wouldn't mind her having this car - it really isn't much more than the Altima that he is thinking about buying - but Tommy is a stickler for budget and WILL NOT go one penny over!

So Maggie has devised a two part plan: #1. She will wear him down with tears and constant reminders of her blossoming romance - meaning annoying pictures of the car posted EVERYWHERE he turns!
(he rips them down and she puts new ones right up!)
Evidence seen below!

and #2. She plans on asking each person that she knows to contribute a mere $50 to her car fund until the 'over the budget' amount is made up!

where he is sure to see it everyday...

under his pillow...

in his closet!

Maggie has often said that if she could choose to have one super power it would be the
Power of Persuasion!
I have faith in her abilities to persuade her father, but I think she may be fighting a losing battle with this one!
Good luck, Maggie!
