Good call Emily! I asked Matthew if I could share his little oops and he sheepishly smiled and said yes! So enjoy...
Matthew just got his permit a couple of weeks ago and has only driven a handful of times. I let him drive to Albertson's on Thursday and he turned really wide into the parking lot and almost hit a car. We had to hurry and reverse (with cars honking at us) and try again. It was fine but it rattled Matthew a little bit so when he went to parking lot he decided to park on the far side of the lot. No problem... except when he went to stop he accidentally hit the gas and drove over the curb and down an embankment right next to an insurance agency. As we bounced over the curb the car got high centered and the four insurance agents standing in the parking lot stood momentarily stunned. They began to smile as they walked to the car to make sure we were all right! They were delightful and helped without making too many smart remarks! They tried to push us backwards but couldn't so one of the agents got his truck, hooked us up and pulled us out. They thought it was ironic that this happened right in front of a car insurance agency and it's agents. I think it is even more ironic that it isn't the insurance agency that we use! But thank you anyway Farmers Ins!!!!!
Needless to say Matthew will be helping me make cookies and delivering them to their office on Monday!
