Just another manic Monday

Something you don't want to happen while driving your car in a foreign country with two kids in the back seat: have a tractor trailer run into the car behind you, pushing that car into your rear bumper.

Silver lining: the other car's passenger speaks some English.

Tarnished silver lining: The police will not arrive to the scene of the accident for a "long while, since this is happening everywhere". But wait! There's a police car with 2 officers, just six cars behind us. What luck! .... HA!!! Right! Watch them as they....pass...us....by. Oh, and rubberneck at our accident as they drive past. Of course.

Thankfully, my bumper only received a few minor scratches. Marcus was hungry, it was cold and rainy, and I wasn't in the mood to wait an hour with 2 kids in the car to discuss a scratched bumper in Czech. So with the other drivers' permission, we left the scene after 30 minutes.

I wonder why I have such a splitting headache today?
