SAVANNAH, GA — A local man was left completely stumped while questioning his wife about an issue with one of the family's vehicles, having apparently been caught off guard by his wife's insightful and engaging response.
Trent Colson explained that he had arrived at the park to meet his wife and kids, only to find his wife's car on fire in the parking lot, prompting him to rush to make sure she and the couple's children were safe and find out what had happened.
"I was born into a middle class family," his wife, Beth, began. "Where I come from, car fires are the very least of concerns. What is far more important is putting food on the table, keeping the lights on, and knowing your family has a safe home. It is these things that people across this country are focused on, not a vehicle engulfed in flames in the driveway."
Trent later said that he was left off-balance by his wife's articulate and nuanced answer. "I hadn't ever really thought about it that way," he said. "While I was caring so much about learning why the car was on fire, I was completely ignoring the fact that she was born into a middle-class family. That answer blew me away. It changed everything. I saw the situation in a completely different light."
At publishing time, following Beth's widely praised response to his question, Trent had reportedly left the conversation with a newfound respect for his wife and was completely unconcerned about the flaming vehicle in the parking lot.
