Walking through the parking lot of my local grocery store recently, my son turned to me and asked which company I have my car insurance with. I told him I couldn’t remember. He then asked if it was with Allstate. I said no. State Farm? No. He then proceeded to tell me that when he’s old enough to drive, he’d use one of those companies because they seem fun and cool. Did I mention he’s nine? I wasn’t sure whether I should be thrilled that he sort of understands the concept of car insurance or appalled that he knows these two providers by name.
(I’m sure we all have a fondness for certain brands we remember from childhood. I wouldn’t have thought car insurance would be one but, hey, to each his own.)
