How Long Is Your Trail?

     After I wrote about signs that made me chuckle, some readers responded with their favorites: Stan said that a huge truck stop sign in Missouri announces “Clean Restrooms. Kids Eat Free.”
     
Rachel said that when she lived in China, a sign in English in a grocery aisle announced “Inflated Food.” The section was filled with puffy bags of chips and other snacks.
     Mary told me about a Florida church sign designed to keep people from parking in a certain area: “Thou shalt not park.”     
     Ruth wrote about a Colorado mountain pass sign: “Watch for Avalanches.” Are we supposed to stand there and wait for one?
     
I noticed a restaurant named “Re-combobulate” in a Washington port town for those who had just stepped onshore and were trying to get their land legs back.
     
One sign in my neighborhood always offended me: “Slow Children.” How dare they say that about my kids.
     
A fence company sign: “Love Your Neighbor, But Don’t Take Down the Fence.”
     
And a discouraging marker along a path my daughter and granddaughters encountered: “Too Long Trail.”
     
I hope your trails are never too long, and that you find plenty of humor along the way. For more laughs, check out my children’s book that discloses the key to developing a positive self image. “Hooty McTooty Discovers True Beauty” takes kids and adults on a wild ride with a chicken who thinks a makeover will change her life. “Hooty” is geared for preschool through third grade and is available here. It’s free for Kindle Unlimited members.
