Did ya miss me? I’m back from a 4 day road-trip to my in-laws. I amazingly survived not only a 6 hour drive with a toddler and a newborn, but I also survived a weekend with my in-laws… Nah – they’re not that bad. I’m actually starting to realize that the things my MIL used to say that pissed me off when Sierra was a baby were not meant as parenting digs at me – they were more of a joke. I just didn’t quite get her sense of humour then – afterall as a new mother I was all defensive whenever anyone said anything that could remotely be construed as critical of my parenting skills. But alas – I’ve grown up (a bit) since then.
Anyways, back to the point of this post. On our way up to our Nation’s Capital we passed (drove in the blindspot) of a truck. The mud flaps on the truck caught my attention. They looked something like this:
So I sat and stared (and stared, and stared, and stared) at the mud flaps racking my little blonde brain brain out. Finally, I turned to my hubby and said; “What the hell is a lot lizard?”. I almost got covered in a Tim Horton’s coffee when he laughed so hard at me that he sprayed coffee all over his windshield. Apparently a “lot lizard” has something to do with the oldest profession ever, truck stops, truck drivers, and truck cabs… In case you’re as naive as I am here’s a wikipedia link. That’s beyond gross! I just had to ask didn’t I?

Don’t feel bad Janice, I didn’t know either until you enlightened me. At least that trucker isn’t interested. He’s probably happily married and wants to stay that way. More power to him! I’ve never even heard of a lot lizard!
Maybe its just camouflage, and actually a welcome mat.
If it makes you feel any better my little blonde head didn’t know either. But at least you noticed it before your kids asked what it meant! I hate explaining these things….
