Yesterday was a day of school for me. My family went did various fun things – tours of vodka places and goat farms, going out to eat… they had an enjoyable day. …until Mike and my mom came to get me.
On the way home from school, my tire went flat. We were driving on the highway, and going pretty fast, so the tire sidewall tore in a couple of places before we pulled over.
The spare was flat, so we couldn’t use it. Fortunately, my mom had AAA. The tow truck guys were kind of humorless. The boss guy seemed super grumpy to me, but my mom said he winked at her!
We did get to see the sunset while we waited for the tow truck.
They towed us to Costco for new tires. My awesome co-worker Chloe came and gave us a ride there because we couldn’t ride in the tow truck.
As the tow truck guys left, Grumpy Guy kissed my mom on the cheek!
While they replaced the tires, we had a beer at a bar nearby. It was a fun little hole in the wall.
We only sat for a few minutes before I got a call that said they would soon be finished. I went back and fetched the truck while Mike and my mom finished their beers.
It was a crazy couple of hours. I was sorry Mike and my mom had to suffer through this breakdown, but at the same time, it was nice to have some company.
Well, that turned out as well as could be expected, and ‘good stories never come from happy times’. I’m just glad that you all were unhurt and that you had some beer. 🙂
