Why Was This Trucker Carrying A Baby Doll Around With Him?
Topic 15077 | Page 1
My son and daughter where worried about "daddy getting lonely " on he road. Their solution, they bought me a minature plastic parrot that sits on a swinging pirch. I gladly Velcroed it to my dash. He's only 3 in tall, but me an "Rocky" have had some meaningful conversations, plus I think he likes it when I finally pull the brakes for the night, so he can stop swinging. Some days, I think he gets car sick
