Danger! Danger!

Watch out for the slides!

On the first morning of our RV adventure, Pop went outside to walk to our office - another perk to our simplified living. We were given an office on the mountain where we live - complete with internet connections and space for Pop's books.

The sun was shining, it was a perfect Fall morning. I (Delly) was organizing things in the cabinets since we had just moved in the night before.

Clump, clump, clump, down the steps. Crunch, crunch, crunch ---- "ADELE!!!!!!!!!!"

I opened the door and there was Pop, holding his head and blood everywhere.

" Now what did you do?" I not so compassionately asked.

"The slide!"

"Huh?"

"I ran into the slide!"

Fast forward to the ER near our new camping spot.

Triage nurse: "What happened?"

Delly: "He ran into a slide on our RV."

Triage nurse - trying desperately not to laugh - "Well, let's get you fixed up."

Fast forward to the ER Doc: "now, how did this happen?"

Delly (because Pop was too busy trying not to pass out from the head pain and loss of blood): "We live in our motorhome and he ran into a slide."

ER Doc: silence - well, not really - he was trying not to fall over laughing.

ER Doc while probing the gash on Pop's head: "it's not too bad. A few staples will fix it. I can give you an injection to numb it - but that will be painful - or I can just staple it. Staples won't hurt as much as the injection."

Brave Pop: "Just staple it."

Lesson learned: watch where you are walking and wear sunglasses.

Especially watch out for a 12 foot high, silver wall......…..
