#40: Playing Along
To accidentally find yourself in the middle of a parade is so epic it’s like something out of a Griswold movie. I bet no one even realized they didn’t belong, as small towns are always super friendly on parade days. Just smile, laugh, and play along, and you’re good to go!

Also, I feel like I have to say how awesome conversion vans were in the 80s. Sure, they look somewhat hideous, but the imagery is just too perfect for this entire scenario. I wonder if it was that lovely shade of puke green and wooden paneling? Maybe it was electric orange and Robin blue? The 80s were an interesting time, for sure.
