Texts between a Dairy Man and his wife:
MFW (6:42 am): I just passed five tractors in a row driving down Main Street. What’s going on?
DM (6:44 am): Oh yeah. It’s “drive your tractor to school day.” Totally normal.
*no response*
DM (6:55 am): Carhartt sponsors it at the local high school. They do it every year.
MFW (6:57 am): What kind of a crazy place do I live in?!?
Hey, I’d have driven a tractor to school from time to time if my farm were just a bit closer. If it wouldn’t have taken me 45 minutes, BAM. I’d have done it.
They blocked off part of the high school parking lot – and the tractors were all parked there in a row – looking tall and important.
That is funny (and I grew up on a farm).
I’m glad you can appreciate the weirdness, Christa! 🙂
