Friday I had my first car accident. I was picking Megan up from school in the church parking lot. I was parked in the stall and when Meg got in and I was going to back out...I felt the need only to look over my left shoulder and was quite surprised when I started backing out to feel the impact of the car driving behind me on my right side. I smashed up the back bumper of the "family van" really good for my first try. The teenage boy I hit was OK, his car was OK...he thought I was an idiot (which I am.) I was really upset and wanted to cry... Megan said, "Don't cry mom, you will just blur your vision and get in another accident." I had to laugh at that. We left the parking lot without notifying the police and I was informed later that I committed a small "crime" by leaving the scene of an accident. Since this was my first one, I didn't have all the rules fresh in my mind.

I hope the police don't find out about you fleeing the scene. Sorry that happened!
What! I seem to remember a conversation just weeks ago about your frustration with Ariel about leaving a small accident without following proper procedure? You naughty girl. Sorry about the accident - that really does stink. I read the post to Michael and he said, "She went pee-pee in her closet?" Apparently he only understands one type of accident.
If I remember correctly I taught Angela how to drive a stick shift or was it her sister Jennifer? Either way we created some great memories together.
Sorry to hear about the accident.
