Oh Deer

You know the feeling you get when you think if you didn't have bad luck you wouldn't have any luck at all? Tonight my son and I were on the way home from the grocery store and a kamikaze deer ran right into us. The deer flew off our car and I was thanking God that it wasn't a moose because they'd be picking pieces of my face out of the windshield if that was the case. 

I didn't think much damage was done, to the car at least, the deer was road kill. When I got home I opened the car door and nothing. Hmmm. What is this? I pushed against it and finally it stubbornly creaked a few inches open. Yeah, there's damage. The hood is bent, the front headlight is toast, the side panel has a lot in common with the McDonald's arch. I'm thinking of suing the deer but I'm betting he was one of the many uninsured reckless mammals running around. FML.

    I hit a deer once and bits of my car few over the top of it. The police drove car to a safer part of the road and wouldn't let me drive it cos apparently there is a risk of the air bag going off. There was over £2,000 of damage and insuranve company covered it but it now uses oil up really quickly. Such a pain- I feel yr pain! But yes we r all alive thank goodness. So glad u r ok. FT Xxx

    Ps I rung the police as I thought you had to for the insurance company but apparently u don't have to report killing wildlife in England just domestic pets. FTxx

    Brings new meaning to "Deer in the headlights". Glad you are ok. Keep your sense of humor!
