The Gas Cap


Yesterday we planted our garden. We decided to treat ourselves to Dairy Queen after church last night. First we needed to get gas. Josh forgot to close the tank and left the cap on top of the van. Once on the road, he heard and saw it fall off.


J: Oh, the gas cap just fell off. I've never done that before.

K: You must have been thinking about your slushy. Turn around I'll jump out and get it.

J: There it is in the middle of the road.

(We're sitting at a stop sign waiting for the suddenly busy traffic to die down as we look at our gas cap and the cars straddling it.)

Sam (from the backseat upon noticing that we are not on our way to DQ yet): What are you doing Dad? Driving to Africa?

CRUNCH

Josh's mouth drops open as an older gentleman runs over and shatters our gas cap.

As he drives by us...

K: Is that a Dairy Queen slushy in his hand?!

Oh there's plenty of days like that! Just be thankful you all had a good laugh, some families would have been cussing or worse yet maybe abusing someone for their mistake! God does have a sence of humor.
