Close Shave

Imagine this" It's the school hols, the kids are having fun watching Shrek Live!, the show's over and everyone's hungry, you all walk across to Mackers and then suddenly someone decides to run your kids down while crossing the pedestrian crossing...
Makes your hair stand on ends? No? Shaven haven? Well, nevertheless, you know what I mean...
That chibai woman ... pardon my french.... was sending text messages while driving in the parking lot and instead of braking at the crossing, she ACCELERATED! We were already halfway across it when I realised that the car was racing forward. Instinctively, I pulled Cait's arm back towards me ( you know how kids like to race in front of you...) and the car GRAZED her thigh.
SOme guy shouted at her to stop her car... (he was louder... so he won) and she did... TURNED AROUND AND SMILED AT US!!! That made the man so mad i tell you........
She didn't even bother to get out her bloody car to apologise! I have her car plate number BTW....
I was just thinking: you know how people would just run across the street just to get over to the other side quickly? If we did that, Cait would have been run down for sure.

Cait wasn't hurt, THANK GOD for that... but my legs were jelly! Had to regain composure cos I didn't want to freak her out.
Getting ready for Church now. Pray now... curse later....
