It’s 10:30 and it’s raining. RAINING.
Out there, in the dark… is mud. Waiting for me.
I called my mother, even though I normally wouldn’t call so late.
“Hi… Mom. Would it be really, really irresponsible parenting to ask if you’d babysit the kids for just a little bit tomorrow while I take my truck out in the mud? It won’t take long!”
“Kelsey, you…. you sound like Charlie Sheen.”
“What?”
“Well, I was just watching Dateline and he sounded all [here she did a really talented impersonation of someone who sounded gaspy and giddy] like he was ON something.”
“Oh. Right. I’m excited, please…?”
Of course she said yes. My mother is wonderful.
Adorable.
And wonderful.
I love you.

“Out there, in the dark… is mud. Waiting for me.”
I had something else entirely in mind when I read those words – namely, how messy it would be when it got tracked into the house. But I’m glad it’s a happy thing for you. I hope you have fun!

You’ll have to express your feelings about mud bogging sometime. I really can’t understand or relate to this at all. Where did you first get this love for mud bogging? I might enjoy splashing into mud with my whole body sometime, but probably not if I was going to be responsible for laundry afterwards.

Geekwif and Michele,
I don’t track it in! It all stays on the truck and off my feet, unless I have the misfortune of getting stuck. which almost never happens. As it turned out, there wasn’t much mud at all and my 4WD went out, so it was a bit of a letdown. I tend not to write about it much, because those posts attract a weird fetish group who make unreasonably disgusting requests. Sometimes they’re polite, but still gross. Just pick old clothes, Michele! you could do it!

Mud is my favorite thing in the world. I have rolled in it as a teenager. And then got myself stuck in it when I was 8 months pregnant. I couldn’t heave myself out of it, flagged down a truck and asked them to call my husband.
He shows up about 10 minutes later and as soon as we make eye contact we laugh hysterically. Oh how I love me some mud.
And I think it’s hilarious your mother would compare you to Charlie Sheen. Hee-larious.
