Don't you hate it when something happens to you that you think is humorous/important/entertaining that you want to share with others, you think about how you're going to start the conversation that lets you share that story, and then you forget to bring it up? This happened to me today. Not once, but twice. Since I forgot twice, you get the pleasure of hearing this peek into the World of Kevin:
On my way from VBS to work today, I was driving along I-35, watching this big truck bearing down on my rear bumper. My gaze shifted from my rear-view mirror to the road in front of me just in time to see this bird (I think it was one of those grey doves) fly into my lane and then bounce off my windshield with a thud. I immediately thought of this:
I was planning to start my lost anecdote with the non sequitor "I went all 'Randy Johnson' on this bird today". After explaining the event to the confused faces in front of me, I then planned to lead into the story behind this:
I would have told how my little brother was sleeping in the front seat with his My Buddy, and he woke up covered in little pieces of glass when we hit that buzzard that went left while all his friends went right (note the indentation from his beak in the A-Pillar). Then I would have talked about how lucky I was to drive off with just a dirty smudge on my windshield instead of a more permanent reminder.
Thank you. I feel much better now.
