Silly Rabbit!

I'm back in DC finally and, soon, headed off to my first working flight since July 16!  But before I go, I wanted to relate a short story about my silly boyfriend.

About 24 hours after my car accident, we were standing on the edge of the road looking down into the six-foot deep ditch where Jeff's car sat in a tangle of torn bumpers, banged up quarter panels, flat tires and cracked windows.  We had met the tow truck driver there and were watching as Jeff's car was being dragged sideways up out of the deep muddy ditch, metal screeching.and crunching all the way...

Jeff turned to me and said, "I wonder if that tow truck driver has a cigarette."  Astonished, I said, "WHY?  You don't smoke!!!"

He replied, "No, but you used to believe that smoking would fix your problems.  Maybe if you smoked a cigarette, this accident wouldn't have happened..."  Then he cracked up.  Silly rabbit.

It was a light moment in an otherwise very bad situation.

About the Author
I'm a 64 year-old flight attendant for a major US airline. Prior to that, I owned an ice cream store and six hot dog carts and put my five kids thru college on hot dog earnings! Prior to THAT, I was Director of International Administration for Domino's Pizza, Inc. I was married to my H.S. sweetheart (dad of my 5 kids) for 17 years. I've been with Jeff for 23 years, but we just finally got married in 2016! Jeff & I live in Cape Meares, OR right on the beach. I'm from Ann Arbor, MI, where many of my kids/relatives still live. My flying base is Washington, DC, where I have a condo that I stay in when I'm between flying trips. My dream is to retire and stay home with Jeff and my two cats, Kenneth & Barbara...not happening soon, though. So I go home whenever I can get a week or more off. I LOVE to meet up with other EXers in the cities where I lay over. I usually blog about what cities I'm laying over in, so let me know if I'm staying near you! I'll buy dinner!! Xxxooo, Sky
