It was a foggy morning today and Erin and I were running a bit late to school. I was definitely speeding on the highway, running about 90 mph (I know I know I shouldn't do it!). As I was driving, I saw a car in the distance and thought, "Oh shoot I better slow down." And it was really foggy.... and since I was focusing on that car ahead, I didn't notice the insane creature that came outta nowhere, scrambling into the street. I saw it about two feet away before I approached it and I screamed, "Oh shoot! No! Omigosh!" Erin and I both screamed and within seconds, we definitely heard a THUD against our right front wheel. The following is what happened next in the car:
Rowena: "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I just hit an animal!!!"
Erin: "AAAAAAH!"
Rowena: (looking into the rearview mirror) "Oh my gosh! It just tumbled off to the side of the road! I killed an animal!"
SECONDS LATER
Rowena: "WAIT! It's flying out! Oh my gosh --- what the?!?!"
Erin: "What was that?"
Rowena: "I have no freakin clue!"
The dang animal ran freakishly into the road, emerging from the fog and I straight up hit it with my 90 mph running Honda Accord. Holy Buckets.
Oh and to top it off, right after, a dog was in the middle of the road and I had to halt our car and scream at it to move out of the street.
When we got to school, I told Fanny, the kindergarten teacher and she said, "Sometimes, you have to hit it. Because it can cause other accidents on the road. So if you have to hit a deer, hit it."
OMG - I hope I never have to cross a deer while I'm driving.
And with the help of Fanny, we determined the psycho bird-animal-thing that I hit which will probably bring me tons of karma for doing so:
a PHEASANT.
These things are PSYCHO. For more information, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheasant
