Holy Crap!

[Sheila]

Remember my post about Nana and PaPa "hitting SoWal". Well..........that happened this a.m. PaPa was allowed to go turn the beloved Benz SUV around and back into the garage so he could pack up,as today was come home day. Apparently, he confused the brake and gas and took off the side of our house along with the back of the Benz!

We are waiting on a friend to go over and make a picture and e-mail it so we can actually see the damage. NaNa's in hysterics. PaPa just repeats over and over, "I'm screwed." All in all it's been a fun morining. Good side of the story, aside from the abuse he will have heaped on him from Seacrest Beach to Asheville, NC he's fine! We may fly him home.

I've seen that a few times. When I was a small kid, even I did a similar thing on the go-cart when I ran over my own arm. I thought the brake was the gas and continued to do more damage to my arm which was getting chewed up by the chain sprocket and tire. I thought the same thing, "Boy am I screwed." I was in pain, but I did not want my parents to take away the go cart. Tell Pops to keep it in perspective. He did not run over another person.;-)

It's not him it's the M-I-L. We aren't worried about the house. It'll get fixed. As soon as we knew no one was hurt we were fine. Let's just say it won't be a pleasant trip home for him.

We may need to a few suggestions on someone to repair it. We are still waiting on our friend to get over to make pictures for us. We told him for his own protection to wait until they left.

Oh no GTTBM! I am glad they are ok, I too have a Nana and I called my grandfather PaPa when he was living.

Oh by the way I am going to upload a picture of myself as a newborn at 11lbs 24 inches long.

Wow! You are a big guy! Cute though! I thought my son was big at 8lbs 14.5 ozs and 22 inches long! He was born on May 21, 1982.

Our little Camden is up to 4lbs 13.5 ozs. About the size of your right foot in this photo! :clap_1:

Thanks for sharing BS. I'm sure NaNa and PaPa will be fine. Poor PaPa will catch he!! for the next few months, but this too shall pass.
