The day a meteorite just about blew up everything

I got a 90% on the stats quiz today instead of my regular 100%...which is where it all began. Here's a conversation I had with an employee at the Olive Garden about five hours after the quiz.

ME: Hi, I called in about an hour ago, but I just got in a car accident, so I don’t know if the food’s cold or anything—

MAN: Are you okay?

ME: Oh yeah, I’m fine. They rear-ended me and my back bumper’s screwed up, but I’m fine. It looks bad, but it’s okay.

MAN: Is everyone okay?

ME: Yeah, everyone’s okay. I just didn’t know if the food was still any good or...

MAN: Oh, definitely! We’ve been keeping it warm for you. I was actually about to call you.

That's right, a fender bender. Completely not my fault, so thank goodness.

The upside is that McKay and McKenna found a place to live today! I'm afraid that if they experience any more joy in their lives the universe will somehow send a meteorite to destroy our home or something. Though, I'd like to think of these recent unfortunate events as a testing ground for some amazing future for our family.

Note: For my wife's version of these events, go here.
