The Kids and the Car
I just got a new car in 2007 and I am loving it. It has all the features that I
wanted and it’s great for taking my kids to school. I was hoping that the only
"wear and tear" that would ever happen to it would be my children.
Well,
the other day, I took a day off work to go out of town. My day started out
pretty normal, but when I took my daughter to school, I was backed into by
another driver. I get ready to get out of the car and speak to them and
they just left the scene! I was so mad, especially since I was only taking my
daughter to school for part of the day, since she didn't want to have an
absence on her record (8 years old, going to Orlando and doesn't want to miss
school---am I missing something here?). At least no one was hurt, but
this is a parent's nightmare, two kids in the car and completely helpless when
it gets hit!
Thankfully, another driver behind me got the plate number so that we could
pursue the matter. I have hundreds (maybe even thousands) of dollars of damage to
my car and I sure ain’t paying for it! The police are looking for the driver
and I sure hope this works out.
