Think Again!

Here's a good one from Utahna... I'm sure none of us can relate!

From Utahna:

While at the flat one day I was driving the utility tractor picking up pipe.  We finished one row and Uncle Ross sent me out the gate onto the road and gave me instructions to go in the next gate where the pipe would be set up.  Before taking off he said “Don’t run over the fence”!  

I'm sure you can imagine what was going on in my teenage head. “Ughh yeah!  Did you really have to tell me that?  I'm not that dumb!” 

So I took off…I'm sure singing at the top of my lungs (cause no one would be able to hear me over the tractor). Or maybe I was carrying out a conversation with a boy... you know, me being both sides... out loud. Yeah embarrassing, I probably shouldn't admit that kind of thing. But when you are stuck behind the wheel of a truck or tractor all day, you gotta find something to entertain yourself.  

Anywho back to the story.  

Just be-boppin' along and you guessed it.   Thump. “DOUEEE!”  I had forgotten to watch my trailer, and yup, I had run over the fence.  And YES, he did need to tell me not to run over the fence! 

He was nice and didn't even get mad at me.  And somehow, I even got out of fixing  the fence! ;) 

Lesson learned: if you think you're smarter than that… Think again.
