Accidents will happen......

So Doug and I were driving down Meridian the other day, in stop and go traffic, minding our own business, when the boy behind us accidently used the back of our car to stop his. I really don't like the feeling of getting slammed from behind...it's disturbing...BUT I'm glad he wasn't going very fast (nothing like the time I got slammed into in my Escort). I felt sooooo bad for this boy, though. He was only 18 and he was so upset he almost cried. He had to fight back the tears the whole time he was talking to us. I don't know if he was just afraid of what his parents were going to do or what....but if he had not cracked my bumper I would have just let it go. We talked to his dad last night...I did ask him not to be too hard on his son since accidents will happen..."I know," I told him, "I have two daughters that have wrecked our cars multiple times." His dad was reassured after that.....so.....now I'll just be without my Mustang for three whole days!
