Way You Don’t Want To Wake Up #231
Your mom tearing downstairs, bellowing “GET YOUR PANTS ON YOUR SISTER WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT OH GOD OH GOD.”
Mom is usually pretty good in a crisis, but car crashes are her Kryptonite,* and then she tends to have the same calming influence as Bill Paxton in Aliens in that case.
Anyway. Turns out some genius decided that stop signs are for chumps and cut across my sister’s path. Scrunched up our hood pretty bad and scared the hell out of my sister, but nobody died, not even the hypothetical baby the other lady was going on about being lucky she didn’t have in the back seat.** So the car is a bit smashed, but we’re all fine, everything’s fine, we’re all fine here now. How are you?
*Not without very good reason. We have A Past there.
**Given that her car is one of those indestructible new SUVs, with barely a scratch to show, I figure that if you buckled him in right, the hypothetical baby would probably be more startled than anything.
