Josh and Becca Thrap and Family

So tonight we were on our way home from a lovely evening in Des Moines with a few of our siblings and their families, driving East on I-80, and Josh and I were having a conversation about his class requirements for his grad program–his advisor is trying to help him CLEP out of as many classes as possible and he was just telling me about her plan to try to get his MicroEconomics with Dabeet from MCC to count towards meeting his economics requirement (!!!  LOL  Yay Dabeet!)  when I realized that the vehicle trying to pass us in the left lane was laying on their horn.  My first thought was “Great!  Josh must be swerving into their lane or maybe there is something wrong with our van that they’re trying to tell us…,” but just then as they cleared past us I realized that the dark gray Honda Element had a bared bottom hanging out the rear passenger-side window!  Now, I have been mooned before, but never on the road, and certainly not in sub-zero temperatures!  That was a brave bottom!  Or stupid.  Perhaps drunk?  Honestly, if you’re going to moon someone on the interstate and honk till they notice you, why not just leave the window up and press against it from the inside?  Thankfully, most of my children were asleep.  Unluckily, Elise was the only one not sleeping and she was on that side of the car so it is possible that she was exposed to the exposure, but she didn’t say anything and she was asleep very soon after, so I’m hoping she didn’t see it.
