Poor dumb teenage boys....

Picture this.... Josh and I in our van driving down the road. Laughing. Talking. Mind I even say reminiscing..... Then BAM! Rear ended. Oh COME ON!!!!!!! You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!! Yeah well that's what happened. We were on our way to dinner and then to the musical Mama Mia. What a LOVELY date night, you say. YEP. Well of course until those poor dumb teenage boys come into the picture. Is that harsh of me to call them dumb? I mean, everyone makes mistakes right?! Just because they are teenagers doesn't mean they are dumb, does it?! YES I say it does.... BECAUSE they did not have their seat belts on.
Here's how it all goes down. Josh and I are sitting at a stoplight. The light has turned green but there is some traffic backed up. Josh waits until he knows that we can make it all the way through the intersection before he goes any further. We go through, and are at a complete stop (because of the stopped traffic) and then get rear ended. The poor dumb teenage boys weren't watching and just ran right into us. The passenger, that didn't have his seat belt on, hits the wind shield with his head. That windshield is pretty much shattered now. Josh and I are fine, other than a minor neck pain. The kid that hits his head bit his lip pretty badly and of course has a head injury so is taken to MCG. The other two dumb teenage boys talk it over with Josh and the police department. I sit in the car and talk with our insurance.
Damages???? Well, it doesn't look all that bad. The back door won't open, the side door won't stay closed and the front passenger side door is a little tricky to open or close. The other car had both air bags deploy and then had some damage to the front bumper... and the windshield.
Right now I am just waiting to hear back from the Insurance company so that we can get a rental car and get the van fixed.
So the questions still pose, what where we reminiscing about and did we make it to the musical? Well, I had just so happen to tell Josh about the last time I went to a musical and how we got lost and were really late and didn't have time for dinner and had to go through the McDonald's Drive Through and eat it in the parking lot of the show. Josh and I didn't have McDonald's, but we did have Dairy Queen and yes we ate it in the Mama Mia parking lot!!! So I guess I have answered the other question... We Made It... and it was FABULOUS!!!! (we still owe each other a night out to a real restaurant... perhaps Bonefish Grill!!!!)
The moral of the story is.... WEAR YOUR SEAT BELT YOU POOR DUMB TEENAGE BOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so jealous (about mama mia, not wreck), I dropped enough hints to my husband about going to see it, and finally today I said, "I guess we aren't going." Oops, he though it started today and ended next weekend. Glad you got to go and are okay!

Did the crash turn your red van into a silver one too? We thought you had a red van.
Glad you're okay.

Do you realize that Greyson will be one of the dumb stupid teenage boys driving in 8 months? They are dumb.
Glad you made it to the musical and that it was great. Sorry about your car and that your nice dinner for two was eaten in the car. It's a good excuse for another night out though.

Glad you are okay! Also glad to hear that you made it to the show! That would have made the whole incident even worse if you had to miss your date! If you guys are anything like us, the date nights are few and far between! At least now you get an excuse to have another one real soon since your hubby owes you a dinner that does not come in a bag and requires a plate! Hope everything else is going well! I need to call you soon!

What a pain! I'm so sorry. I saw Mamma Mia a few weeks ago. It was great!
