Klara and I walked the hiking trail carrying a pink make-up refrigerator. Well, I was carrying it, obviously.
People we met along the trail kept trying to guess what we were carrying.
“Is it a bread-maker?” one man asked. “Are you baking bread?”
“Is it a mini safe?” asked another.
“Such strange people,” Klara said with the perfect superciliousness of a nine-year-old. “Why would we walk around the lake with a bread-maker or a safe?”
In case you are wondering why we were carrying a non-functioning makeup refrigerator, that’s because we needed it to carry our markers in it, of course. Why did we need markers on a hiking trail and why did they have to be in a pink make-up refrigerator? Have you ever been nine? Think back to that time, and you’ll have your answer.
