I had a very bad Friday last week. I would not say I did not 100% expect it, it was just looming over the horizon waiting to happen any day and it happened last Friday. With the worlds 2 big distraction as my passengers I had a minor accident. I hit a car in front of me during my drive home from work. The damage was not big and touch wood, nobody in both the cars did not have any injuries. I had collapsed and had a break down inside the car and on the phone with M , though I put a brave casual face to the other party and the cops. Divya asked for a cookie and I turned back to say something and by the time I turned around the car in front of me had stopped completely and I did not have enough time to stop. Since it was already a stop and go traffic where I was not moving more than 5 miles/hr the damage was not big but still it just shook me up. I had never had incidents in my record since I got my license, although M would have a different story but I had never got a speeding ticket or a red jump or a parking ticket where I had to pay, my record was spotless and in a split second its gone. I will have this accident on my record for the next 5 years. During my break down inside the car until the cops came I did not fail to take the kids on a guilt trip to an extent that they started crying (yeah I know, I should not have turned back what ever the reason, but I need someone to blame like M use to say, but that's me, I don't have any intention to change) and when I told this I got an earful from my parents in regards to the blame. So spent close to an hour on the freeway and another hour on the phone with the insurance and another couple of hours on the phone with my parents cursing my bad time, this country, finally slept through the night emotionally exhausted. Well this is the first time for me I'm sure I will get over from next time onwards :) (hope none of the good/bad fairies/angels around me heard that line).

D: Sandhya, why did you eat my chocolate that I had saved in my bag?

D: Well, you ate my chocolate
S: (cutting through) is that a pay off

Its almost always better to stay away from banters. It works out on its own 99% of the time
