Thing is, this friend is really pushing for renting a car while there. Because he's lived there, and will be bringing his girlfriend, he will want to be the driver. He is the worst driver I know. I am scared to ride with him when it's not even the autobahn in winter. And with Mallory..
I'd also go with the roominess issue. Point out that it is difficult to ride with two adults and a baby sit in the back of a full size, and you know that european cars tend to be smaller. If all that fails, just bat your eyes and say "I know it's silly, but I just don't feel comfortable with ANYone driving Mallory"
The funny thing is, I originally typed sabre, but not knowing which he used, fell back on foil, which was my brother's choice.
And in his underground lair, Neil Diamond is twirling his moustache and exclaiming "Curses! Foiled again!"
I'm trying really hard to remember any possible offenses from Juliana, and am failing miserably.

Yeah, Susan, on the great start with daycare!
Happy Surgery Day, Jilli! Whyfor the birthday happy-fun plans?
even when Bibendum the Michelin Man has personally guaranteed his safety.
Hee hee hee. Thanks to William Gibson I know have the Michelin Man's real name stuck in my head forever.

Yup. Also, I will always be just a wee bit creeped out by him, too.
We are back from the pediatrician. They looked at Ellie and saw nothing wrong. I think they had no idea what was causing the problem, but they weren't worried. I feel better that she was looked at.
So glad Annabel's first daycare day was a good one. Sounds like a smooth transition for her.
{{juliana}} just because and you are never a pain!
I am now earwormed with "Don't mess with the Michelin Man."
it's always bad when there's a fight and I can't pick a side. Early returns from today probably indicate suckage, though.
I watched too much tv, so I am now leaning towards the Sheriff's side as NASCAR folks tend not to sound smarter the more they talk. But then I've been away from Joe "toughest sheriff in America" Arpaio stories for more than a decade so maybe it was just a battle of boisterous for me.
As he talks about buying a house and land out in the country almost as much as he talks of ways he is getting back at his ex-wife (who the hell would marry him?), one concludes that he will go away once he realizes he ain't ever getting the hours he wanted.
Well hopefully he will go away soon to realize his dreams of land and payback.
A good proposal. I think that will be the good cop's suggestion, after the bad cop says "baby + wintry autobahn = world of HELL NO." Or, more likely, "Why don't you and GF rent a car, and we'll do our thing, and meet up in the evenings?"
Excellent idea. Making it about their comfort and freedom and Mal's needs is perfect...

This is good news. Might be a mystery but it's not a scary dangerous mystery.
