Yes readers, you've all been waiting for it.. and now its finally arrived.
I was in my 1st* car accident!
And now I have whiplash (ouch it hurts :( ) and the back of Ben's car is all smashed.
No I was not driving (woohoo... still beating Mel's record!) and no Ben was not driving (to the surprise of my mother) but Ben's Mum was!
It was very dramatic.. we were driving along Wakehurst Pkway, along CCC and Oxford Falls and ducks were crossing the road. A car had already stopped for the ducks, so Vicki drove around the car (thinking it had like broken down or something) Ben was the only one who had seen the ducks, and he was saying "Mum, ducks, there are ducks.." then screamed "STOP DUCKS!" just as we were about to hit them. So we slammed on the brakes and sat there for one second (while I was terriffied we'd killed the ducks (it was a whole family! with lots of babies!) until someone smashed up behind into us. It was very dramatic.. and it hurt.
But it was kinda fun waiting on the side of the road with bystanders "ooing" and "aaahing" and acting all serious calling insurance companies etc etc. The poor woman who smashed into us was so shaken and was like crying saying "this was my first accident" Poor thing she was quite worked up. Now I can add this to my list of firsts...
Conclusion? My neck hurts. I am SO claiming a remedial massage.. eh'xcelent..
* Well 1st if you dont count running into a kangaroo. Which I do count. But saying 1st just makes it seem more dramatic.. who can blame me for trying ;)
