Eating my words
Yesterday I posted this video to my Facebook profile. The name of the video is “When the Driver is a She.” I laughed at it and moved on with my day.
Little did I know that the Female Genie of Driving Vengeance was watching and administering justice.
Last night, in a rush to get Sam to bow practice in time, I backed into Paula Atwell’s car in our driveway. She had parked behind me. Bad thing is I had seen it and calculated what turns I would need to make.
However, upon getting in the car, I was juggling a hot meal intended for Tracy Reed’s house. As I passed it off to Sam to hold, I completely forgot about the car behind me.
Yup. I’m that way. A creature of driveway habit.
So I put it into reverse and begin my normal (aka, speedy) exit from the carport. We were jolted to a quick halt by Paula’s Honda.
Dented her hood quite well. But no damage to our Sequoia.
As I stepped back into the house to tell Carolyn and Paula, by the eyes, I realized they had witnessed the whole thing through Caro’s office window. They had been yelling at me to “watch out” through the window…
Moral: Laugh in private at women drivers. Posting videos about them will come back to haunt you.

Hmmmmmmm……Guess my little accident with your Sequoia won’t be so funny anymore, huh???
Your sweet mom
Been there. I was HEAVY harping on my wife to drive careful and quit running into stuff… then I totalled a friends new Mustang (with him in it) – two weeks later, I backed into my mother-in-law’s van.
Since then, I try really hard to keep my mouth shut about women drivers. Pray for grace for me though, I’m not always successful at keeping my mouth shut – or keeping my foot from stomping the imaginary brake pedal – or the occasional comment “hey their brake lights are on”.
