The Truck
Wow.
Flipping the switches.
Starting the engine.
Beautiful.
Taking pictures.
Mom vacuuming the interior.
Dad buffing the box.
Adam scrubbing the tires.
Ben polishing the chrome rear bumper.
The air horn.
The flame throwers.
Dual stacks.
Lift kit.
Sub.
Back-up alarm.
I laugh inside as I think of the reaction of any truck-loving 3-7-year-old.
The future Bens.
It's blue.
Blue headlights even.
Tomorrow, I will wear blue.
To the law office.
To the coffee shop.
(A double-duty day.)
And quietly hope that just maybe I can have one of the four seats during some cruise. Not necessarily tomorrow but surely another.
