An Aint Aud tale

Heres a lil story about Aint Aud. When I lived in Ca.Aint Aud came out on some business trip of sorts,and I was to pick her up and take her to her plant in ( I think) City of Industry,Ca. Anyway I ran my pick-up truck thru the car wash and I picked her up in it and she had an incredulous look on her face as I drove up to get her.She asked where my car was and I said I left it at home.By the time we arrived at her plant she was just finishing up explaining to me that under NO circumstance(sp?) was I EVER to pick her up again in a truck ! (boy I sure did love that ole truck too)Well we parked and as we were walking in we both noticed her plant manager (Oriental I think)leaning back with his hands folded behind his head and his feet on the desk and he glanced at us then turned away,and instantly jerked his head back to us and recognized her ,and he got outta that chair in a speed that you could only admire and ran over to us and said;Ms Hoey,we werent expecting to see you here today.She said ,apparently not.Any way he gave me/us the grand tour and she spoke with him in his office a few minutes and we left.Let me say that I never did pick her up again in my truck,altho I really DID enjoy driving that ole thing and just cant understand why anyone wouldnt want a ride in it.:)

Yeah, she was quite the business woman, huh? Which I could have seen her face when she was getting in the truck! Was it the truck she didn't want there, or could it have been some kind of spit can in the floor board? I also wonder if the plant manager thought she pulled up in the truck just to trick them all! sounds like a good idea to me! Tell us more stories. Write one about my Mom and Dad.

I remember that truck -- I think! If it was Dad's work truck, I can't believe Aunt Aud even got in!

I'm thinkin' it had to be pretty bad for Aint Aud to put down the rules!
