I would say you have my sympathies, but I'll be honest- you don't. I have a secret satisfaction at knowing that it is not just me.
That satisfaction however, was not evident yesterday at playgroup pickup when one of the kids ran directly in front of my car & I slammed on my brakes to avoid hitting her. B"h I stopped in enough time, and the mother just looked at me gratefully & said "thank you for driving safely" but I had waking nightmares about it all day & more at night.

Apparently your satisfaction isn't all that secret anymore! :D
ReplyDeleteB"H you braked in time. This is so awful. I can imagine that you'd be having nightmares. *shudder*
