Very Famous People

So, we ran into these nice folks...who were NOT in costume...at a gas station...on a road trip...with my mom and daughter...on a Sunday afternoon...in the middle of nowhere...

That look on my daughter's face we later learned was her holding her breath. She described them as smelling like CABBAGE!

We had simply stopped to fuel up at this random gas station and my mom went inside for a potty break. You'd have to really know her, but after a couple of minutes, my 78 year old mother comes practically running out of the station, motioning wildly. "Get your camera!" "You've gotta see these people!" (in between uncontrollable giggling) "Hurry, Tara, where's your camera!"

I quickly poised my camera from inside my truck, waiting for them to come out and my mom was like, "NO honey, you gotta go INSIDE and get a GOOD picture!"

So...she sends my daughter and me inside and I'm trying to be all stealthy with the camera, like I'm pretending to inspect a Ruffles label, when the lady TOTALLY pegs me and says: "Oh, sweetie, do you want your picture taken with us?? We're VERY famous. We'd love to take a picture with you, don't be shy."

And...the next thing I did probably reveals far too much about my mothering instincts, because I totally pushed my unsuspecting daughter into the frame so as to get the "GOOD" photo my fun-loving mom had demanded. Like a tetanus shot, the whole experience only lasted a few seconds and we felt pretty good afterwards.

The couple was really friendly and the lady did give me some good intel on who she was as she explained how "very famous" they were.

I would encourage both of my blog readers (if I have that many by now) to search "flash jordan Austin city lights" on YouTube and you too can experience these nice folks, minus the smell of cabbage.
