The daughter took the wifes van to the grocery store, then coming home, failed to negotiate the slush at the end of the driveway. spun around, took out the mailbox, pass. side mirror, door glas, crumpled fender and hood. She's fine, the rest is trivial. Now if she want's to go anywhere, its daddy's old mercury station wagon for you, girlie! She should have taken it anyhow, seems odd, around here if a vehicle is 15 yr.s or older, for some reason they just don't wreck... |
