Innie or Outtie?

8-30-09

Michael got new tires for our truck on Friday. This is not an especially exciting fact except that the tires are "outties". This means that the raised writing on the side of the tire is written in white so that it is readable. I didn't think that it made a difference if your tires were innies or outties. But then my brother in law said that you only put the outtie tires on if you are pretentious and want people to know what kind of tires you buy. Are you kidding? Who cares what kind of tires you have on your car and why does it matter if you can see the brand or not? So then on our travels this weekend we started looking around to see if other vehicles were innies or outties. It turns out there are very few outties in our neck of the woods. Now we are completely self conscious that we are being pretentious drivers showing off our fancy outtie tires. I don't think it matters but it does give one pause.

I bet you thought I was going to talk about belly buttons but I'm not. Although I once thought that outtie belly buttons were none existent. I had never really seen one as a child. I was beginning to think they were an urban legend. Then I saw one. There it was, at the pool, all poking out at me. I, to this day, have never seen another. I think they are almost as common as outtie tires. Now I bet you will be looking for them too.

Have a blessed evening and thanks for reading my 8th blog.
