So, our show went well today, we are actually having fun and it showed. The audience was dead, but other than that it was a great show for us. Our drive to Gainesville was long, but not bad. I got to play “navigator” and the whole van played mad libs for most of the trip.
Now for the craziness.
I was walking with Chance to the gas station so he could buy cigarettes, and all I can do is shake me head about what we witnessed. As we are walking we hear this CRASH and THUD. We look over to the McDonald’s across the street and see an ’80’s model Chevrolet backed into a tree and over bushes. We stop in our tracks. Then we see and child no more than 8 years old jump out of the front seat and run into the McDonald’s, leaving her siblings screaming in the car. 30 seconds to a minute later the little girl runs out of the restaurant and hops into the car. A minute or so later the mom comes out McDonald’s, very nonchalantly, and sits in the driver’s seat. Leaving the door open, she drive the car into a parking spot. Then she gets out, shuts the door, and goes back into the McDonald’s.
Chance and I go into the gas station, and when we come out, the car is still in the parking lot.
We can’t help but watch to see what happens next. Well, the Mom comes out of the McDonald’s with a bunch of food. She puts the food in the front seat, shuts the door and walks to the passenger side of the car. After she opens the door, you can see her whapping her child who backed the car into a tree. After she does this about 4 times, she shuts the door, goes to the driver seat and leaves the parking lot. As she pulls out, Chance and I see the big dent in the back quarter panel of the car. All we can do is stop and shake our heads.
All of this at 11 o’clock at night.
what a day.
