A little over 10 years ago, when my wife and I were still dating, we bought some stuff at Menards. It went in the back of the truck and there were a couple things that were too long so the tailgate stayed down. Long story, but when it's all said and done the contents of the back were on the road at an intersection. I had forgotten about this...
A couple days ago we were hauling a large round bale of hay home. It was loaded in the back of the truck and I didn't put the tailgate up. It's 1000 lbs. and we were going less than 5 miles. It wasn't going anywhere. She asked if I should put the gate up. I said "no it's not moving."
She says "That's what you said at Menards."
"What are you talking about?"
"You thought it would be fine when we dropped all that stuff in the intersection at Menards"
It took me a minute to figure out what she was talking about. All I could say was "How do you do that? It's like you don't even have to try."
To which she said "It's a gift."
