"Can you get gas in the rain?"
"All the exits are dive numbers"
"Mom, I just hit that car!":
Words no one wants to hear at 5:45 am. Our tired, inexperienced driver backed into the neighbor's car on her way to early morning seminary. She was in shock for a minute and reported intrusive crashing sounds and images over the next few days. The poor girl was so disappointed in herself and one of her first worries expressed was for the other car who would be inconvenienced and unable to drive their car for a few days! Unfortunately, what was a pretty small bump wasn't able to be settled reasonably with the neighbor and we ended up having to file an insurance claim. (Quite frankly, that was the most upsetting part of the whole incident - that the neighbors who had negligently and illegally parked behind our driveway were so unreasonable.) But I suppose "Mom, I just hit that car" is all part of the teenage experience!
