Eighteen Wheelers and Women



We were at a red light and an eighteen wheeler was in the other lane.

 “Mommy, look an eighteen wheeler,” Jory exclaimed.

“Yes, I see Jory,” I commented.

“Look at the man inside.  He sleeps in the back.”

“Yeah, he does,” I answered only half listening.

“Women don’t drive trucks,” Jory said, causally.

Wait?  What?!  “Yes, they do.”

“No, they don’t.”

I am SO not raising some crazy sexist.  “Yes, they do.  Women can drive eighteen wheelers just like men do.”  Operation show Jory women driving eighteen wheelers commissioned.
