When I was younger my parents bought a used motorhome. My dad was so excited about the new ride that he wanted to show his best friend what it looked like on the morning before a trip to Florida. We were all packed and ready to go except stopping at Lawson’s to get milk. My mom went in to get it and was putting it in the refrigerator when my dad took off. She lost her balance and the 1/2 gallon cardboard carton went flying, hit the dashboard and exploded. My dad sat in the driver’s seat dripping with milk and I think steam was coming off his drenced head. He didn’t say a WORD. My mom kept explaining that it wasn’t her fault because he took off before she put the milk away and had the fridge door closed. It was Sooooo funny, but we all were afraid to laugh.
A long time had passed before we told that story and roared with laughter about it. I can still picture my dad with milk dripping off his nose.
