Crappy week
So this week has totally begun to suck starting thursday. My mom got into an at around ten o-clock that night and we've learned something about cops(I have no idea if what i'm about to say is the same for all of them)they have no experience with fixing vehicles(dum dum dummmm). Any way they said it was totaled when it wasn't. What happened is that my mom was going to Taco Bell to get me a pop because I had stayed behind to look after the laundry and as she was turning into the old Walmart parking lot the attaches to the Taco Bell lot a red Jeep truck comes out of no where. Moms head light on the driver side was damaged, the bumper was dented inward(mom told me it was metal with plastic on the inside) the grill was damaged and came off. The tie rods up under the front of the car were bent the wrong way as was the other rod that I think is called the I rod. I guess it looks like a giant H or something. Anyway mom was going to scrap it but my Uncle Quint saved the car. He straightened the tie rods and the the third rod cause if he hadn't mom would have had to pay one hundred and some odd dollars for a new one. The kid that she bumped against scraped his three hundred dollar car cause they said it side tracked. Mom said that she didn't see him when she was turning and I'm inclined to believe her and its not just because shes my mom either. The parking lot I was talking about is lit up by a soft orange light when it gets dark and mom said that she never saw his headlights. There were no witnesses but one lady was brought out of her apartment by the noise and both my mom and the lady said that his tires didn't stop squeeling on the pavement for a while so he was probably speeding. This kid is at least seventeen and headed toward the opposite side of town from which he lives on a school night. I saw the truck and all that I could see from the ouside was a rumpled side. The kid blamed my mom saying that she hit him on purpose when thats not true. My mom has got to be the most careful person in the world. She goes thirty-five in a forty zone and she has me help her to back out of parking spaces. The kids mom threatened my mom saying my mom better have insurance and that she would go over and hit my mom in front of the cops. The cops told the kids mom that if she went near my mom after making her cry they'd arrest her. That lady ed me off and the funny thing of it is that I know the kids older brother. I went to school with him and my mom worked at the same factory as their mother. Well we got the tracker back sort of straigtened wheels the headlight that got busted has plastic over it and the side reflector thing is taped down and mom zip tied the grill on the car. I told mom we could call her car Patch now and if she took out the passanger side headlight we could call it Patches. She just rolled her eyes. I wish she wouldn't do that, she could hurt herself one of these days.
