Car Crash Fun

Well, that was fun! I’m still in a hell of a lot of pain, bruised all over my chest and stomach (everywhere my seat belt was touching me) due to the fact that my mothers friends are insane.

We were headed up to St. Joseph yesterday and we had to wait at an intersection in the little back road interstate out in the country because Mom’s friend was running late. Well, we wait for her and my mom gets out of the car and goes to ride with her friend, so I took her vacated passenger seat and we headed onto the road with her friend’s car out in front of us. We had *just started* driving, literally a few seconds on the road again, and Miss Co-worker and my mom hit the breaks OUT OF NOWHERE about a car’s length ahead of us, and we didn’t have time to break fast enough so now Lorna’s car is totaled, Laota got beat up (she hit the back of the driver’s seat), Lorna’s got whiplash and I’m all bruised up and I think I pulled something in my shoulder but I got the least of it. Now here’s the kicker, my mom has tried her damndest to spin it as not the fault of her friend.

They didn’t even stop for a real reason, either, they hit the breaks because my mom’s door wasn’t shut tight enough – no blinker, didn’t pull off to the side, didn’t even slow down. I realize that this chick didn’t mean to do that, but wtf, how do you think hitting the breaks with a car right behind you is going to end? COME ON!
