Raising four girls all by himself has had a weird
effect on my friend. While raising four
girls might drive your standard issue adult male to drink excessively or
perhaps take up collecting the fossilized poo of dinosaurs, my friend has found
a far more unusual form of stress release.
My friend buys emergency kits.
Weird, I know.
He has six or so first-aid kits. He purchased the same number of roadside
emergency kits with hazard triangles, jumper cables, flashlights, and
flares.
Emergency sewing kit?
Check.
Emergency water purification kit?
Check.
Survival food kit?
Check.
Emergency Strawberry Frost Response Kit?
Ummm. Yeah,
that, too.
Somehow, my friend found a “frost response” kit for
the protection of his strawberries in the event of a frost emergency. The rest of us would call this a roll of
plastic. I think he even had to provide
his own gloves for emergency deployment.
I am just happy that I have only one daughter.
