Have to laugh, but not laughing at her!

Wanted to wash and wax the front cap/bug catcher on our rig. Our well water is loaded with minerals, so washing things doesn’t cut it. You can’t see through a window if you spray our water on it and let it dry. So I pulled it to town and soaked it down in a car wash bay and scrubbed it mostly clean.

We needed a few groceries, so I parked on the street near our small town grocery store and went inside. When I came out, a lady came up and said, “I hope you don’t think I’m rude, but what is that on your truck? I see them on the road some time, but I don’t really know what they are.”

I told her it was a camper, and opened the door to show her the inside. I opened the curb side slide and let her inside to check it out. I swear if I’d showed her a space ship she wouldn’t have been more amazed! She couldn’t get over the idea that it had a kitchen, a bathroom, recliners and a bedroom. She walked around the outside a little, and then said “It seems bigger inside than outside.” Being a Dr. Who fan, I enjoyed that quite a bit!

She was amazed that, yes, my truck could pull it 70MPH.

I’m still smiling about it.

Nice story that illustrates how easy it is to assume everyone has the same basic knowledge. Sometimes it's amazing how different we all are. 🙂
