Public Service Announcement:

This is the face of the victims of Over-Aged Driving:

 

This morning we were driving home from the library when an elderly woman hit us directly in Annalisa's side door.  Luckily, none of us were hurt, excepting our Swagger Wagon, which is completely out of commission.   Almost immediately I knew the kids were all OK, but the shock and terror of being T-boned right where the baby sits was too much for me and I became unraveled pretty quickly.  EMS, fire, police, etc arrived on the scene and everyone agreed the kids were fine.  Sean continued to read his library books in the back of the car while police reports were filled out.

 

The woman who hit us, on the other hand, I would argue is not fine.  In the head.  After she hit us she wandered up to our car (we were driving down a large four lane highway and she pulled out of a parking lot directly into our car) and said "you came out of nowhere!"  No, I was driving down the street and you hit us! 

 

Then, she looked in the car, saw all the kids and said, "Well at least it was just you and the babies in the car." W-H-A-T???? As opposed to.....?  What would have made this situation any worse?  More than three babies in the car?   

 

If you are senile enough to say this, please, hand over the keys.  You should not be driving.  Anywhere near my children.  (By the way, her car was low enough that impact struck below the baby's carseat-- thankfully. Our guardian angels are working overtime again.).
