So let's just look at the facts first and lay it out flat before I rant:
- Two sisters were in a SUV, driving down the road
- Aubrey (17 yrs old) was driving and Clare (15 yrs old) was in the passenger seat
- The speed limit was 35
- There was a little snow on the road and a small amount of ice as well
- A deer hit the passenger side door
- Aubrey hit the breaks and ended up spinning and landing in a ditch
- Car tilted against a tree
- Both the girls climb out and are fine with only bruising and small concussions.
Now that I have laid out the facts, I can continue with the story. Aubrey freaks out during the accident and has to be hooked up to an oxygen tank because she was hyperventilating so bad. Clare got out and ran to her mother, who had recently arrived, crying and "fell into the mothers embrace." Both of the daughters and the mother make a big deal out of the accident and so does the girls' friend Samantha. The two sisters and the mother all go on Facebook and say how their lives flashed before their eyes and how close to death they were.
Sadly for them, I can not handle how dramatic they all are making the story. They were no where near death. They were only going 35 mph at the most. If anything, they were going slower due to the snow. The reason the car spun is because Aubrey did not know how to control the car, but as it spun, all four tires were still securely on the ground. When they landed in the ditch, they were leaning against a tree. If the tree wasn't there then, yes, they would have landed on their top. They would not have flip completely over and at the slow rate they were traveling down the road, it couldn't have been that fast of a motion. The SUV was a very sturdy one and even if it did land on their top, the car would have been able to handle the weight and would not have been crushed much, if at all. Both of the girls were also buckled so they had nothing to worry about.
The next day, instead of coming to school, their mother cradled them and told them they could stay home due to the shock and pain they went through, keep in mind the girls didn't have any cuts on them, they were only sore. Aubrey stated that she wasn't in any pain ahead of time, but once the idea of her being able to stay home came up, all the sudden Aubrey was in unbearable pain. Also the friend who showed up during the accident also decided to stay home to help Aubrey and Clare around their house.
Finally, after one day of staying home, the girls both come to school. I walk into school and see Aubrey limping. We go to class and Aubrey gets up to sharpen her pencil and all the sudden she doesn't have a limp anymore! Magic, right?! After class, we were walking down the hallway and all the sudden Aubrey had a limp again, only it was the opposite leg from when she started. In plain sight, everyone could tell she was faking a limp.
At lunch that same day, I see the other sister, Clare. Clare seems to have a throbbing headache and so does Aubrey. They both eat and then end up going home instead of finishing the rest of the school day.
Once again on Facebook, Aubrey posts something about the accident. Me, being the nosy person I am, couldn't help but read it. She was complaining about how much pain she was in and "...all because of the stupid deer." I lost it. I couldn't handle the complaining anymore, so I commented on it.
"How do you think the deer feels? You killed it!" I thought it was clever. It got the point across without being too harsh. But then Clare pipes in.
"The deer is fine. We are the ones who almost died." Hold up. The deer is fine. Let's start with that half. Um...try no?! The deer is not "FINE" it is dead somewhere! After that hard of an impact I guarantee he is dead. Now lets look at the second half. They didn't almost die! Are you kidding me?! They weren't even close. Close to death is flipping seven times in a car into oncoming traffic, and you are not wearing a seat belt. That is what you call almost dead. Almost dead is when you are hospitalized for a weak in unstable conditions and they don't know if you are going to make it.
I am getting carried away; back to the story. Of course someone has to chime in and try to prove me wrong Grandma speaks up this time.
"They did not hit the deer, the deer it them. I would much rather have a dead deer than dead grand-kids." I can't handle the stupidity of this family. They have now decided to twist my words, so now I am starting to get angry.
"You are twisting my words.I was not implying it was better to have them dead. I was just saying the deer is dead. It was a joke but also there is no reason to call a deer stupid when us humans are the ones who destroyed its habitat."
I was the last one to comment on the post. I guess I won the argument. I can't wait to get out of this town of idiots...
