when i was pregnant with tad, the boys and i got in a teensy little car wreck.
a wreck that was not my fault at all!
i was going straight through a green light and a car going in the opposite direction turned left in front of me.
i slammed on my brakes, but we still collided.
our car ended up needing some minor repair work.
to this day, the boys talk about it often - like it was the huge wreck that *I* got them in.
and matt loves to jump on the bandwagon and give me a hard time every time they bring it up!
i am always pointing out that it was not my fault, and that i am still a good driver, but no one ever believes me.
today, i went to chet's school for a literacy celebration.
i got to read some books that he wrote at school. (without the help of a teacher for spelling or content).
i couldn't help but laugh when he read one to me.
the book is called 'the day i crashed' and, i am sure you can guess, is about that dang car wreck.
chet's teacher laughed when i explained the background of the story, and said has heard lots of interesting versions of stories in her career!
oh chet, i sure love you :)
