She Can See Clearly Now...Sort Of

My mom recently got BRAND NEW WINDOWS! Just like my BRAND NEW CAR! Which was recently downgraded to Brand New Car since I put 12,000 km on it, got a flat tire and a nick in my windshield.

Caution – incoming tangent: In addition to the plethora of flat tires I’ve had, I’ve also never owned a car without a getting crack in the freaking windshield.

I could go on and on and on about how much this annoys me and what I must have done in a past life to attract this type of dumb karma…but I won’t. I’ll focus! I ate my Wheaties this morning and I will remain on target! Or was it eggs? Wait…did I even eat breakfast? I can’t remember.

Where was I? Oh right! My ma’s BRAND NEW WINDOWS!

This is the first time in her whole entire life (and it’s been a loooong life) that she’s ever had BRAND NEW WINDOWS. She’s like a little school girl. It’s quite funny to see, actually. She keeps flipping the windows open and saying ‘Look how much open space I have!”

The three windows were installed recently. Here is the new kitchen window:



...and one of the new living room windows:


and the great big main window in front:


Wait...that doesn't look right...



Turns out they measured this one window wrong. So my mom had a plywood window for a few days.

Keep in mind that this is the biggest window in the place. And the one that faces the street. Oh, and she lives in a TRAILER (sorry…’mobile home’).

Now it’s a TRAILER with a PLYWOOD FRONT WINDOW.

Ha!

Ha ha ha! How do you spell ‘trailer trash’? M-O-…

Oh, sorry mom…
