When I Grow Up

One day at the laundromat, the reknown Soldotna Wash 'N' Dry, our Ford van had a wistful experience.

I pulled into a parking space next to this:

A Freightliner Sprinter.

Our home on wheels heaved a great sigh of longing as I left it alone next to this luxurious version of a camping van.

When I returned after my shower, the Freightliner was still there overshadowing our little Ford.

As I drove away, looking in my sideview mirror, I could hear our baby say,

"(*Sigh*) When I grow up, I want to be a Freightliner!"
