Lisette

I really believe some people don't have the right temperament to drive a car and this could be the root of Lisette's problems. She just had her 3rd accident in (I think) two years and this one could have finished her off but she escaped with nothing more than a few bruises and a cut on her toe.

She was driving down the highway to celebrate Mother's Day with Shelley and she accidently knocked her eyeglasses off. This led to a chain of events where she leaned down to find them, swerved partly off the road and then over-corrected. This, in turn, caused her to fly off the highway and roll her car 2-3 times. It was a miracle she wasn't killed.

Lisette is a smart girl but she's like her Grampa...brilliant but ditzy at the same time. She accepts that she won't and shouldn't be driving for a good long while and that, when she's ready, she'll take an in-depth driving course so that her driving skills will be vastly improved from what they've been up until now.

All of us who love her are very grateful that this didn't turn out to be the tragedy it so easily could have. My head is still reeling from the shock of what happened and how lucky we all were.

I am utterly amazed that she rolled it so many times and wasn't seriously hurt or killed. It's terrifying to contemplate.
