Trailer Tales: Cramped Chaos
And speaking of living life to the fullest, let me tell you about our family vacations. We own a trailer. Started off with a small one, thinking it'd be this quaint way to see the country. Quaint turned into cramped faster than you can say 'claustrophobia.' So, we take this vacation to Virginia—me, my boyfriend, his kids, and Snoozanne, our snoring mascot.
Imagine this: a human, a dog that thinks she's human, and actual humans who haven't learned the art of personal space yet, all packed into a space no bigger than a bathroom stall. Halfway through, Snoozanne's looking at us like, 'I did not sign up for this. Where's my rider demanding a solo trailer?'
By the time we got back, we were all speaking in Morse code because we couldn't move without accidentally elbowing someone. It was like living in a tin can with limbs poking out. So, what do we do? We immediately go out and get a bigger trailer. Because obviously, the solution to our problems was just more square footage on wheels.
Now, you might think, 'Ah, a bigger trailer, that must have solved all your problems.' Ha! The bigger trailer just meant we could fit more chaos inside. It's like upgrading from a small petri dish to a larger one. More room for the germs to thrive and the madness to spread.
Our first trip with the new trailer was like a declaration of independence. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all family members deserve elbow room and a place to escape Snoozanne's snoring.' But let's be real, the extra space just meant we could bring more unnecessary stuff. Because who doesn't need a full-size coffee maker, a yoga mat, and an inflatable kayak on a road trip?
And Virginia, oh Virginia, it saw us coming and whispered, 'Here comes the circus on wheels.' But this time, at least we could lose each other in the trailer for a few blissful moments of solitude. Until someone remembered the dog needed to be walked, or a kid realized they left their favorite toy in another state.
So, yeah, our solution to vacation squabbles was just to supersize them. But hey, on the bright side, now when we say we're taking our show on the road, we've got the square footage to back it up. And who knows? Maybe next time, we'll just skip the middleman and upgrade to a mobile home park on wheels. It's all about the journey, folks, especially when you're living it in a house that goes from 0 to 60 in six minutes flat.
Ever had a vacation that felt more like a test of endurance than a relaxing getaway?
