Meh
Tonight I got the phone call I've dreaded from the moment Thing1 got his license.
"Mom, it was raining and I swear, I only looked away for a second. I got in an accident."
Every time he calls when he's gone with the car, I've held my breath until he told me why he was calling. Usually it was to ask if his friend could stay over, or to tell me they were stopping for food, going somewhere else, hanging at a friends house, etc.
This time I got That Call.
Sigh.
It was just a fender bender - maybe five miles an hour. His Jeep has the imprint of the guy's trailer hitch into it, and the other guy's bumper (clearly held on by wire) is now on crooked.
Not something I ever want to go through again - am very much thankful it wasn't worse.
