It's amazing how some events that happened long time ago suddenly pop up. Especially the ones you've forgotten.
Case in point: my father went to vote yesterday. A woman at either the voter check-in or the check-out looked at the address and said to him...
"Oh I remember you. Your daughter got hit by a car near the bus stop. I heard she was fine after a few days, I was so thankful. Next time you see her, tell her I said hello."
....
I confess. I was hit by a car running to the bus stop because I stopped in the middle of the street to pick up some homework paper and the person didn't stop. First off, this happened when I was a FRESHMAN in High School. Ninth grade. Age 14. Just a few years ago..
Who remembers this stuff and why? I'd put that out of my head, just because it was stupid and shouldn't have happened, (the bus route ran right in front of my house and the driver always picked me up if I was running late) but I was the most popular person as soon as it was determined I was not dead. My favorite story was I had been hit by a bus, a car and a moped. But after that had been brought up by some random resident, I wonder what other random event will be brought up about either Sis or myself down the line.
