Something We Can All Be Thankful For

 

So me and my family drove up to Boston for Thanksgiving. 6 hours and 55 minutes into our 7 hour trip, as we are cruising (well under the speed limit mind you) down the main street, another car suddenly darts out in front of us leaving me only enough time to grab the door handle to brace myself, turn my head to look at my mom who’s driving, and think “awww f#$k” before we smash into the other car. The airbags instantly deploy. I sit there for a second, looking at them, as I had never seen one before this, then open the door and get out the car. No one in our car was hurt, though the fate of the other driver is at this point unknown, though it appears she was having some problems of her own.

Crash Damage

When it first happened, I though nothing of it, I just calm walked around, unloaded the car, taking care to save what was left of the candied yams that had spilled during the crash (yes I still ate them, yes they were still good). 5 hours later I got to thinking, “wow, I could have legit just dies” but the though didn't really have any impact because it didn't actually happen and you know how we humans suck at imaging our deaths, because you cant imagine yourself being in a state where you cant imagine anything (if that makes any sense to you).

But like I said, here is something we can all be thankful for:
