Memories of Thailand

Today my mom was standing behind her car, and I was going to start it up, but I paused, I stopped, because I thought, I don't want the exhaust to get my mom all dirty!

To tell the story of what happened to make me believe this I will bring you back to a year ago, in Chiang Rai, Thailand:We had just gotten a station wagon so my team of 6 could travel the 3 hour ride back and fourth from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai for our meetings. As we got ready to go one day, Cristen from our team was standing behind the car, getting into the back. As we turned the car on, the exhaust blew out black soot all over Cristen's cream colored pants!!!!
Ever since then, I think we have all been careful not to stand in from of the exhaust pipe, or have been more cautious about who is behind the car.

So that is why I paused when my mom was behind the car, because I didn't want the exhaust to blow black soot all over her :-)
