It’s all I could picture, no one ever asked me for a TORCH before. Like in Indiana Jones?? 😅
Until I stopped and asked, “Wait, what do you need it for?”
“To look at my car, something is wrong with the engine.”
…and that’s when I realized. We had a good laugh.
That’s exactly right! I wrote about it in another response. :)
