In her place

Aesop101

Woke up early this morning to go hunting. Uh, not early enough I'm afraid but what the heck it's my day off. Set the alarm for 4:30 and turned it off. Then woke up at 6:00 am. Then did everything I should have done the night before. Went to the grocery for a few snacks and gas.

3 hours later and I am in the woods. It was at State Recreation Area. Trounced about in the woods for 2.5 hours with no luck. I did see 6 squirrels and 1 dear. No good shots on the squirrels and I haven't hunted deer in years.

Finally I was ready to head home. Then on my way home I realized I haven't ate anything since last night. I pulled off on a side road, lifted the tail gate and pulled out a can of sardines and a yogurt.

While enjoying the little treats I watched a semi being loaded with corn. Then noticed 3 combines were running in the field and 3 more semi's waiting. Must be a heck of a crop this year.

Then I was back on my way home. At some point I thought I would pull onto another side road so I could stop and grab some ice from the cooler. Turns out there was no place to pull over that I felt comfortable with.

Then I managed to find a highway I had never been on here in Indiana. Amazing to me. I would describe it as a lost highway. Now the sardines have worked magic. I really need to go to the bathroom.

But this stupid highway doesn't seem to have any gas stations. Why the heck is it a highway. What high way doesn't have a bathroom!?

Finally and I mean finally I hit a highway I know and a few blocks later paradise. Geeze though, how many people would show up at a gas station in a small country town. Unreal!

I see a kid dart from his car. I just knew he had to use the restroom as well. So I'll be number too. I'm in control so I tell myself. When I get to the hallway with the restroom there's the kid and he is waiting. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm going to burst! I stifle myself emotionally and physically. We wait and wait and wait. What the heck is that guy doing in the bathroom??!

Thinking on my feet I ask the kid is anyone in the women's room. He turns the knob, nope!

I ask the lady at the counter, "Can I use the women's restroom?" She smiles wide, yes! Amen!!

The kid runs in and wizzes. Then thankfully I make it. Yaye!

I know why that woman smiled. I could read her smile. "About time those guys had to wait!
