Always look behind you




Well what an interesting morning it has been already and it is only noon. While on our way to Debbies house this morning I found myself behind a school bus in her neighborhood. "Look boys there is a school bus in front of us." and of course they both looked. The bus stopped infront of a house and so I stopped behind it to patiently wait while she picked up some school kids. Then all of a sudden the bus started backing up. I slammed on my horn and before I could put my car in reverse she slammed into the front of my car. The worst part is I had just pointed out to the boys that hurray look there is a school bus in front of us so they saw everything. Ciaran started screaming. None of us were hurt at all but a little shaken up. Still in the car tring to calm down Ciaran the bus driver came up to my window to make sure all was okay. Then she proceeded to say there isn't any damage so we can probaby just go. Me being the smart one said well let me get out and check it out because I couldn't see being hit by a bus and not having anything happen to my little santa fe. So I got and sure enough. It wasn't horrible but there was some damage done and I am so glad I didn't just say oh your fine just go ahead. Thanks to my dad always drilling us with never leaving the scene of an accident without calling the police. Thanks dad. So then we did the usual calling the police and filling out the reports. Ciaran started freaking out when he saw the police man. We are kindof bad because we tell him all the time that police man are bad and we hate them. Opps thats our fault. So Debbie came and picked up Ciaran so he would be happier. Thanks Debbie. Angie came also and brought her camera so I could take pictures. Thanks Angie. SO what an exciting morning we had and now we have to get our car fixed what a pain but at least no one was hurt.

You hit a bus???? I don't believe that the bus hit you. That really sucks, but I am glad you are alright. It is so fun to see what is going on with your family. We went bowling the other day too, and had a blast. We should all go one day. Whittney

Kim, I am so sorry that you got in an accident. Good job for not leaving until the police came. I am glad that everyone was ok. What did Cabhan do? How much will it cost to fix your car? Be carefull.
Love, Mom

Holy cow! I can't belive she saw the damage and then told you that nothing was damaged so you would leave! That is so dishonest! Good job in checking!

what a "friendly" bus driver... YIKES!!! I can't believe he said there was no damage! What a relief that you checked. My tendency would be to trusting & then be way sorry later. Thanks for teaching my a valuable lesson! You're my inspiration!

So if cops are bad, what do you teach your kids about thieves & murderers? Just hoping there's consistency! xoxo ha, ha!
