This is a reenactment-yes, we are that crazy.We had a great visit with the kids. We spent the morning at Griffith Observatory. It is in the hills of LA and overlooks the entire city. It also has great views of the Hollywood sign. Oh, by the way, I almost killed my husband in the parking lot...literally!
We were having difficulties parking because it was mobbed, and some guy was trying to save a spot for his friend (who was not in the park yet by the way) by standing in front of it. He was on his phone and waving us on. I knew the other guy could not get in the spot if my car was smack in front of the space so as far as I was concerned it was just a stand off and of course I would win.
Then I spied a spot to the left and decided to go for it at the exact same time my husband decided to get out and do what...fight, yell at the guy, throw his phone over the LA hills...I am not sure, and my lovely daughter was right behind him ready to go into battle with her father. All I know was that there were so many swears being yelled I couldn't really focus. I put the car in reverse as Kurt was stepping out of the back seat. Yes...this is where I almost killed him. I will say in my defense...obviously I was unaware that he was getting out of the car. As he stepped out, his flip flop got caught under the back wheel and he was being pulled under! His foot was going in the same direction...it was next. Everyone started yelling...it got a little crazy in that car..if you know my family you know we are not quiet in anyway. Of course I stopped in time before there was any serious damage...although he did have some tire burns on the heel of his foot and leg. He is fine...and we got the spot! I think the guy finally realized that we were a little crazy and really did not want to deal with us, and he probably caught sight of little Kurt getting out of the car. Either way.... I knew we would win!
Hahaha....E.G.
