Adventures at the Band Concert

The Jr High School had their annual Christmas Concert Tuesday night. Since the concert wasn't the same week as Creighton finals, I volunteered to head up the refreshments. As Grand Poobah of Cookies, I had to get to the school an hour early to help set up.

As we pulled into the near empty parking lot an hour before the concert, we saw the band director parked at the front doors of the school unloading gear. Just as he walked away, a mom in a mini-van backed out of her parking space and slammed into the side of his car. The gal then jumped out of her van to examine the damage but evidently she forgot to put her van in park. The now driver-less van slammed into the band directors car a second time while she watched with a look of abject horror on her face. Luckily the band directors car blocked the idle speed renegade van or it might just have kept going right through the front entrance of the school.

The first hit made me feel bad for her, the second hit just made me laugh. I should have had a video camera.
