I went to Kids Klub tonight. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a ministry our church youth do with inner city kids from Iron Gate. We play games, have crafts, and tell a bible story and then have a snack. The kids were relatively quiet tonight. At KK that is.... on the way home... well, let's just say that I didn't learn any new words, but a rather extensive section of my vocabulary that I never use was rehashed for me by them. YOUNG KIDS!! Like 5 or 6!! Cussing in the FOULEST of terms! It was pathetic!! After KK we went to Panera Bread were some of the peopel who didn't have supper, did. While they were eating Ted and I went over to B&N and looked at books. We then all went to the something Stone Creamery, an awesome gourmet ice cream place... I got a HUMONGOUS cone As we were leaving, both Ted and I were looking over our shoulders as we backed out of the parking space and we never saw. We never even knew it was there until we heard it... CRUNCH!! A little black car with two girls in it was pulling out of the parking space directly behind us at the same time. Ted started to say something, but wisely stopped himself... We both got out and this cute little Hispanic girl with long curly hair (I think she was half-Hipanic, Half-African-American) got out and started crying. And then her friend, an African-American girl, got out too and tried to calm her a bit. She stopped crying pretty quickly and Ted and her exchanged car and contact info. Her Dad, ironically, is a car body mechanic. The funny thing was Ivan, Nicole, and Linda saw the whole thing happen. They were sitting at an outdoor table at the Creamery. I went over and talked to them and Ivan said it was definitely a no-fault thing. Both of them were backing. He also said the cops won't make a report 'cause it is private property, a parking lot. They took about half an hour to exchange all their info... and then we drove home. I kept teasing Ted in a mommy voice, "Don't drive off the road!! Don't cross that line! Stay in your line!! Don't run the red light!! Slow down!! Don't hit anybody, again!!"
