It was a rainy day here in Toronto today, and I had to be out driving in it. It's not driving in rain, or any other weather, that bothers me. It's the other drivers out on those days that provide the problems, and there was one of them out today, just waiting for me to come along. I had taken my youngest daughter to an appointment at a medical centre. We were all finished and back in the car, ready to drive out. The drive-lanes are crowded there, and every inch of space is used, so I had to stop my car for a moment to check on exactly where the exit was, before proceeding toward it. I saw movement out of the corner of my left eye, and realized that the car parked there was beginning to back up toward me. The driver did not stop and I had only a moment to honk my horn before she hit us. Now let me see ... what is it you're supposed to do at the moment when you have hit someone? Oh yeah, get out of your car and start the exchange of pertinent information. Not this broad! I'm already into PARK and starting to open my door when I realize she is putting her car into DRIVE and leaving! She drove forward and away, going pretty fast for being in a parking lot. Obviously, she must have hoped that I would not have had time to see her license plate. Sorry, honey! I got your number and promptly drove to the nearest Collision Reporting Centre, where I gave your plate number and all the details to the OPP. You stupid idiot! I just know what you were like as a kid at school. You were one of those brain-dead morons who would do something wrong, see the teacher looking right at you while you did it, and then immediately say "I didn't do it!" The problem is, you never grew up, did you? You're still a selfish, dishonest, mental midget who has no concept of taking responsibility for your actions. It's just a shame that you and others like you are allowed behind the wheel of a car.

Hi Mommy,
I read your anecdote today about today. I just want to let you know that as the passenger in the vehicle and as your daughter, I am proud of how calmly you acted under the circumstances at hand. I really do want to grow up and be just like you some day!
Io te amo,
Squeaky
"Mental midget!" I like that! I think I will use it. Maybe when one is talking to me, I'll go, "Mm mm mm mm ..." ;-)
