When Frankie first bought a truck, I was all “Really? You? An F150?” Because I just didn’t see it. But he was like, “Do you have any idea how awesome this will be for camp? Like, when we’re doing the pre-BBQ Costco shop and can easily haul everything back in one trip?” And I was all, “Oh shit, true story.”
So we’re at Costco this afternoon, Frankie and I and one of our counselors, because today was the first day of camp and the Summer Kick-Off BBQ is tomorrow night. And we’re walking through Costco, grabbing hamburgers and chips and running our mouths off about how it was the “best first day of camp ever and oh my fuck we’re so awesome and the new kids are so little and cute and we’re fantastic and camp is going to be great and did we mention it’s the best first day ever?”
And then we pay for everything, load it all into his truck bed, continue with our raging egos, and head back toward camp. Once we get there, he pulls through the rear gate, we wave to one of our campers who’s riding his bike around the property, and Frankie goes to back up to the kitchen doors, just like we’ve done a thousand times, and as he’s backing up we’re still running our fucking mouths off about how AWESOME we are and how SMOOTH the first day was and he’s getting closer and closer to the kitchen doors and then all of a sudden the car jerks as he tries to break, slips, hits the gas, tries to break again, slams on the gas, and then I hear this loud noise and he throws the car into park and I look up and I’m thinking “holy shit we broke the glass on the doors” and I turn around and realize that yeah, we broke the glass on the doors, but only because WE BACKED THROUGH THEM INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING KITCHEN.
Um.. YEAH. Everyone’s fine. Although I’m pretty sure the camper riding his bike next to us full on shit his pants. And did I mention that I’m really looking forward to day 2 of camp, when I have to explain that, um, that part of the building that was there yesterday? Yeah, not so much anymore.

A friend of mine just emailed me one of your articles from a while back. I read that one a few more. Really enjoy your blog. Thanks
…so, who pays for that? Costco? Ford? The kid riding his bike for distracting you guys? Hilarious.
Totally blame it on the kid. when in doubt, always blame the younger counterpart
Hysterical.
BLAME A SEIZURE!
“Oh shit, true story.”
Awesome! I have done something similar on a smaller scale.
ITS ALL FRANKIES FAULT.
i'm kidding. you know, for a while, i thought that ridiculous shit like this only happened to me. it's a huge relief to see someone whos life just might be a LITTLE more insane than my own.
seriously though? i died reading this.
Ouch. Glad you guys are ok.
Holy shit dude, that sucks!
Oh no no no!!! lol Nicole! I hope the news went over alright with whoever your head honcho is! But in the mean time? That's pretty bad assed.
ohmyfuck. PS, I just had a flashback to you freaking out in the car on the way to Vegas because the way you wrote this sounds like the way you'd be telling me in person and I laughed and cried all at once. I FUCKING MISS YOU!!!!
I feel so bad for Frankie, man!
I hope you guys aren't in trouble.
At least you get to blog about it, right?
This is SO GREAT! Just lovely.
Holy crap! Does insurance cover runaway Fords?
(F150s aren't so big though.)
That happened on full house once! It's also something I would totally do if I didn't park super far away from any and all buildings.
Oh wow. Glad everyone is ok and I would LOVE to hear what that kid told his parents. HAHAH And I just saw Jackie's comment about Full House… wasn't that DJ that crashed into the kitchen??
Ridiculous! That is seriously all I can think to say…and I miss you. TFA is holding me hostage.
Oh no! How awful. :[ I'm glad there were no major injuries, other than your raging egos.
I do believe the correct response would be OH FUCK. that is so insane! Glad everyone's okay. except for the wall…
OMG. Just…OMG.
I'm sorry…
Holy fuck. Frankie must be freaking out. Yeah, I got rear ended by a F150 once. I was stopped, he was going like 6 MPH… and he totally motherfucking crushed my bumper. So, yeah, those bitches can do some damage. I hope this all turns out okay. Don't let it get you down – camp will still be awesome!
OMG! I'm glad you are all okay! My first accident happened in a truck, although considerably bigger than an F150(a moving truck). I was feeling high and mighty considering I just got my license two months back and maneuvered that monster in the tightest places. Then a simple undercompensation into a driveway and I crushed a compact illegally parked into smithereens. The car alarm was the worst noise ever! No one was hurt and the truck was not even scratched. I've since learned to drive trucks with a fifty foot force field. Your photos scared me..thought it was your house.
Oh man. I'm glad everything (and everyone) is okay. That would have been scary. This totally reminded me of that time the Tanner kids ran the cement mixer into the kitchen on Full House. Except you know, Frankie isn't a girl, it was a truck not a mixer and no soundtrack of feel good music played 14 minutes after it happened.
HAHAHA! No seriously, I really did just laugh out loud here at my desk.
Oh wow, that's so crazy! Haha, I guess sometimes a great idea also has a down side
Hope the repair goes okay!
Hahahaha. Only a few people could manage to do something like that. Luckily, it was just doors and not the whole wall. How much damage was done to the new truck though? Eep!
Oh no!!! Poor building.
OMG that SUCKS!
Holy shit, into the kitchen??? That's insane. Damn that hemmy.
Pretty cool post. I just found your blog and wanted to say
that I’ve really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. Anyway
I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you write again soon!
whoa whoa whoa.
dude. that's crazytown.
Dude needs to get a diaper if he scares THAT easily.
For real.
That is amazing. I thought I was the only person that did shit like this. In some ways you guys just increased my self confidence.
oh man that's one hell of a broken door. sheesh. at least everyone was okay right? that's the plus side in this. ummmyeah.
Wow… Only you can come up with this shit!
Holy cow, Nicole! That's, well, just wow.
oh. wow.
I'm glad there was no one in the kitchen at least and you are all ok!
Oh no!
Loved your latest post, by the way.
Holy crap. That is awwful!
Holy. Crap.
Wow. That's incredible and horrible for y'all.
… Is the kitchen all patched up now?
