Things you learn while living in a trailer park....

After living in a trailer park for 7 years you learn a thing or two.....

1. People think you own a "coach". Apparently back in the day, mobile homes were called this. But I am most certain no magical pumpkins were involved in the making of our trailer park!

2. Sophisticated peers imagine our home is made of tin-metal. They look for a "hitch" in the front bushes and a license plate in the back yard. I wonder, do we really give the impression of traveling gypsies?

3. Guests are intrigued by a shed. "Normal" houses have garages; they hold ordinary things like tools, bicycles, Christmas decorations.....but SOMEHOW our shed is fascinating to trailer newcomers. I've seen grown men so curious to take a peek inside, you would have thought we had a trap door in the shed leading to buried treasure.

4. MOST residents in our trailer park have modern vehicles that operate. They don't keep old trucks up on blocks. There's no rusty cars parked in the yard. Not ALL of Jeff Foxworthy's trailer park jokes are true ;)
