You know how, some of us have a worst nightmare?
Something that can happen and you are terrified that may happen to you?

Some people are afraid of the dark, of death,of worms, of cancer, of closed spaces, etc...

My worst nightmare is this unexplained fear of knocking a child over. Or an animal...or any person, really...

And just now, as I was driving home, this van was turning right,and it's a double street, so I drove sideways to the van to turn left.
Obviously I can't see if there is anyone crossing the road.
And then just like in a matter of millesimes of a second, this baby boy, about 3 years old crosses in front of me!!!

And his dad, and his sister.

I bit my lip and I couldn't move! The boy touched the car,it was that close!

Thank God I was driving slowly and had the reflexes to break!

Dad looked at me, emited some shock sounds, like if it was my fault he is a fucking idiot who lets his children cross the street, carelessly!!

Anyway, it doesn't matter, nothing happened, but I am shaking really bad and I feel like crying.

Just the thought of what almost happened, it's enough to traumatize me.

And some people don't believe in angels....

( just a quick note to say in more than 20 years as a driver, I never had an accident, touch wood, I never made a claim with any insurance company, touch my forehead, but somehow, lately I've been having this bad feelings and dreams with cars???U-( )
