Disney movies. I’m sure we’ve all watched them at some point or another. Well, the other day I was watching A Goofy Movie. Personally, it’s one of my favorites that no one has ruined for me yet. Until my Tennessee vacation. My vacation buddy (We’ll call her Dru) was singing Willy Nelson’s famed (and overused) song ‘On the Road Again’. So, to counteract this, I pulled up the most catchy road trip song I could think of and let it play. That song was ‘On the Open Road’ from the Goofy Movie. Soon, I had it stuck in her head, and we were laughing and singing it every two seconds.
When we finally pulled over for a bathroom stop, I couldn’t bring myself to use the bathroom. When we walked into the entry of the gas station itself, the entryway smelled like fish. Not the ‘We sell fish here’ (because it was near a body of water) but the ‘Holy shit honey you need to wash’ kind of fish. It was terrible. She had to go so bad that we went into the bathroom anyway and that was the cleanest part of the gas station. (Sad, right?) Anyway, as I was humming the song from the Goofy Movie, I came to a certain part of the song right at the beginning. The song goes like this.
Do ya need a break from modern livin’?
Do ya long to shed your weary load?
If your nerves are raw and your brain is fried
Just grab a friend and take a ride
Together, upon the open road!
And then Max starts singing his bit about how he’d rather have this, do that, or be here instead of being on vacation. Right as I got to the part about shedding weary loads, I heard it. The plop. It occurred to me that she’d really had to pee… and then it happened. The realization that she’d not just had to pee, but she had to shed a weary load of her own. So I did the mature thing. I burst into giggles. Should I have rethought the action and been courteous? Yes. But hell I was tired, and that was fucking funny. Because the second I started to laugh, she asked why.
Have you ever heard someone’s voice when they’ve blushed or been embarrassed? Well, Dru’s voice was just like that, and her feet beneath the stall shifted and pulled in. She finished shedding that weary load and got out, washing and drying her hands so fast I thought she’d win some kind of world record. We got the hell out of dodge and put a few miles of silent road behind us when I started humming the song under my breath. When I got to the second line, she of course said “SHUT UP” and turned red all over again.
We laugh about it now, but then it was embarrassing. And I just put it online. Awesome. She got back at me on the return trip, though. She tells me I have a big ass (when I’d like to note, it’s a very nice ass, it doesn’t matter if it’s big!) and I always have some kind of retort. We were passing one of those weigh stations for semi trucks. The sign read:
WEIGH STATION NEXT 3 MILES
LIMIT 13 TONS
She saw it, looked out the window, pointed as we passed, and said: “Look! It’s your stop. Wide load, coming through!”
Vacation buddies… gotta love them even though you want to bash them in the face.. With a chair.
