What's the limit on keywords, I wonder? If we have to keep adding ksen insults, we may run up against it pretty soon...
Well, you're right, the light WAS green.
We were very fortunate. He was riding in the back playing with his new light saber. Had he been riding up front where he usually did, he would've been killed.
I'm glad you all were ok.
For a couple of years after that, he'd always ask if we were turning when we hit an intersection (like, "Dad is your signal on?")
My kids do the same thing after getting into an accident when my wife was driving them home from the beach. I always hear, "Dad! You're going too fast!" The speed limit can be 40 and if I'm going 42 I start to hear it.
Jealous.....
Your fear may be justified ;-) My daughter and I were on a bus recently in Boston, trying to get to our hotel. The traffic was so horrendous that the bus driver eventually gave up on his route and went somewhere else entirely, which caused much angry shouting, and some celebrating, by the passengers.
Meanwhile, the guy sitting next to us was drinking one beer after another from a paper bag. I guess he felt guilty, so he graciously offered my daughter and me some, though we declined, didn't want him to have to go out again to get more when he got home. Another passenger was so drunk that his wife had to stop the bus so he could get off and throw up.
Eventually we got off at a subway stop and made our way to the hotel from there.
One person's insult is another person's badge of honor. ;^)
I bet if I were to go through this whole thread and count up Precious snags that Corin would leave us all in the dust.
Good one.
But apparently I was wrong. There's no LOTR playset listed on the Lego website, but they do have Harry Potter and Star Wars. So I guess ksen's observation that the dark riders look a little Vader-ish is pretty accurate...

Thanks. It was just the two of us. But it really was God's hand protecting us. We were in my old Honda Civic. It was the day after his birthday and I was taking him to play Putt-Putt. He wanted to bring the light saber, so I said "only if you ride in the back seat."
We were sitting on the side of the road and the driver of the truck that hit us came up and said, "I'm sorry sir, but you ran a red light." When he said that, I knew he was right, but the picture in my mind still has a green light.
We were at the hospital for several hours (and ended up taking a cab home because the wife was out of town). I sat there waiting to be treated/released going back and forth thinking "How good God is" and "How stupid I am..."
(Blushing)...I dunno. I was on a streak there for a while, but the competition has gotten tougher.
It's pretty cool. But I thought we were obsessed...Says it's by some guy named "Destructor..."
