Girls Write Out
Friday, November 17, 2006

There are words you don't want to hear. As parents, you never want to hear, "Are those your kids out there?" But today, I was in Peet's getting a mocha and this woman walks in, "Is that your BMW out there?" Well, first off, I was happy she thought it was my Beamer, but no, I have the minivan. So she keeps asking and this snotty woman says back to her, "Why? Did I leave my lights on?" in this very droll voice.

And this young gal says, "No, I just crashed your car."

I felt sooo badly for the young gal who hit her, but I have to say, that was one moment, I was proud to say, "No, I've got the minivan!" And leaving your lights on sounded like the problem to have!

ROTFL. Yes, good to have a mini-van today.

And inside you were giggling that the snotty woman got her car hit, weren't you? ROFL

All the more power to the young gal who could've just said, "oh, well, yeah, thought just I'd mention it about your lights," and walked away from such a snotty reply when she was trying to do the right thing. Coming inside the store to be honest and take responsibility was hard enough without the rudeness. I don't feel a bit sorry for the older woman (sorry , probably not nice on my part) but am happy you drive a minivan, too.


Abundant blessings,
Jenny Cary

Oh, that poor girl! Took a lot of guts for her to come in an fess up! I know a lot of adults wouldn't do so (have both seen them leave and have had my own car parking lot hit). Bravo for her . . .

I'd probably feel sorrier for the woman if she'd been nicer to the girl at the get go. I'm afraid to ask . . .how did she respond to the news?

My Dad also has been hit in the parking lot. When he came out of a store, He found the van hit and the person who did it, was gone.
God Bless this Girl!
