So...
My brother got run over by John Kerry. No, you are not getting punk'd via livejournal. This totally happened. We're in Sun Valley, Idaho, just chillaxing. John Kerry has a house here. Yesterday I think "wouldn't it be cool if we ran into John Kerry?" Well today it happened. Literally.
We were, like, going on a nice family bike ride and the next thing I know I hear a crash and an "owwwwww!" and turn around to see Winston writhing on the ground. I see a silver Lexus stop and two people run out of the car to go check on Winston. I hear Winston say "what are you trying to do? Kill me?" to these people. I quickly determine that Winston is fine and will probably create a scene and threaten to sue etc etc, so I kind of slink away in the bushes with Binky. My mom and dad are on the scene, as are these two phantom people and several Sun Valley concierge / concerned onlooker types. Suddenly I notice that Winston is not yelling anymore but is instead using polite language like "thank you, sir". I look up and see the phantom man's face for a second (his back is turned to me). It is JOHN KERRY. I think "OMG". Then I think "that cannot be John Kerry". I continue to watch intently for, like, the next 3 minutes or so, thinking "I know John Kerry has a house here", "Wow, that really looks like his wife" and "that looks like John Kerry from the back". During this thought process, John Kerry is helping Winston make sure his legs can move and asking about his "coccyx" (Winston fell on his ass and it hurt!! John Kerry knew this. However, John Kerry is very classy and suave so instead of inquiring after Winston's ass he asked if his coccyx felt bruised). At one point, Theresa and my mom go over to the Lexus and help each other get Winston's handlebar marks off of the side of the car. Finally, John Kerry helps Winston get up, I hear Winston tell John Kerry something about fighting the good fight, they shake hands and John Kerry and Theresa re-enter their car.
I learned later that, like, the only thing Winston could say to John Kerry for a while was "You're John Kerry!" to which John Kerry would reply "Thank you" or "Yes I am John Kerry, but how are you?? How is your coccyx?" And when my mom ran over to Winston she did not see John Kerry until Winston was like "Look! Look! Look! Look!" And then my mom like looks up abruptly and sees John Kerry and goes "ahhhhhhh! (not really a scream, more of like a startled erpution) Well it's a good thing I voted for you!"
Sometimes I'll, like, forget it happened for a few minutes and then "Omg! John Kerry ran over my brother!" Will pop into my head.
PS John Kerry ran over Winston
