Allowed

I am not allowed to drive any of our equipment (except the car/Yukon)If you heard my history with equipment you would understand why. My father and my husband never let me drive anything. I may ride on the back or walk alongside. I have been given many chances but something always happens (not good) and I get banned. I'm OK with it, as I have learned my place. But...every once in awhile it can't be helped as I am the only one along and I have to drive something. I can see my husband look down at the ground then look up at me as he says, "I guess you will have to drive." Tonight was one of those nights. I get all excited when he says that. I smile as I set in the drivers seat. Then I can't remember where the gas is or the brake. I push the wrong levers and buttons. Finally I sort of get it going very slowly. He is cutting down an old gnarly mulberry tree next to a fence line. He hooks up the chain, then starts the chain saw up. I am to pull on the limb when it starts to fall and drag it into the field. I go backwards by mistake, then I get it going the right way. I pull and pull and yank it down. Victory! My husband does this five more times. I tell him I'm pretty good at this when we are in a wide open field. Seriously what could go wrong out here? Thank goodness nothing did tonight. Maybe soon I will be allowed to drive something again.
