I don't have any crafts to show you tonight. I actually just want to tell you a story I was reminded of while doing introductions in my online World Literature class.
I am from Liberal, Kansas, as you may very well know. And I say this because I currently have two followers and you both know what I'm talking about. My first job was to be a tour guide at the Coronado/Dorothy's House Museum. (My name didn't make the Dorothy wall which I'm still quite bitter about.) To be a Dorothy tour guide one must wear a blue gingham dress and red shoes. You had to dress like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. The little kids loved it. Anyway, I'm driving to my very first day of my very first "real" job. As I'm heading down main street, doing the speed limit of course, I suddenly notice a dog running as fast as he can INTO traffic. I slammed on my brakes and held the car steady. Unfortunately, the timing was all wrong and I hit the pooch. Not knowing what to do because it was also my first car/animal encounter, I decided to pull into the SRS parking lot and go in to get help. YES, I get out of my car, dressed as Dorothy, after hitting what I'm sure people referred to as "Toto" after the incident.
Well the poor animal was lifeless on the road. A group of men ran out and grabbed it. I'll never know if it survived the accident, but odds are he met his puppy maker that day! Poor guy.
The irony of what happened is really to funny not to share, so there you have it. I'm not the greatest story teller and am tired, so I hope you can appreciate the story for its content and not the delivery!
Happy days!!!
That's a great story! Sad, ironic, funny, but great. Poor dog, though. Maybe he was trying to commit suicide. Why else would he run into traffic? :( So did you tell this story in your class?
