Yep, Day 2 of Brandon being away and we (myself and the kids) were in a car accident. All I can say is it was not my fault and thankfully we were not injured. We were rear-ended from behind at the end of an off-ramp on the way to McDonalds for a little lunch and playtime. So we had the "pleasure" of sitting literally across the street from the Golden Arches for an hour waiting for the police to show up. Amazingly, a sheriff finally just happened to drive by (not even responding to my call), noticed me standing on the side of the road feeding Marcus his squash and stopped to ask if we were ok. (Um no... see that deformed bumper back there?)
The good news? I wasn't driving in the Czech Republic. Therefore I could communicate with the other driver, the 911 dispatcher, the police officer AND my insurance company. Amazing how much ground you can cover when all parties are speaking in English!
The bad news? The other driver was uninsured. And that door ding I noticed just last Sunday really pales in comparison to my shiny red schmucked up bumper.
Now that we got that out of the way, the rest of the week should go just fine.
