Who's Alonso Now

Sometimes I tend to go overboard with giving sound advice. Of course I meant well. I just want to ensure that things go the way it should; smooth and creamy like that peanut butter sandwich I had this morning.

I guess Alonso did not see where I was getting at. I was concerned that Alonso might not be able to get his car up and running so I showered him with skies of sound advice. So I told him to check the weather and make sure he had the right kind of tyres on, reminded him call up the workshop to set an appointment for his car's regular checkups (I should set an appointment to get him checked instead...), make sure the mechanics greased the nuts and bolts, etc.

It's all sound advice, but Alonso's respond was as usual, "shocking". Alonso replied, "Need to do all that?" In the end I gave up, so I replied, "I would have done it just to be sure. It's up to you." I feel so much like Alonso after saying that. I learnt a new lesson. I should, from now onwards, refrained from giving advice to people especially to Alonso.
