You're a little less of a jerk...

Jerk of the day goes to whoever caused the brutal accident on Route 3 in Clifton this morning. I really hope no one was hurt (I don’t want to sound rude) but you really gave me a bad start to the day. I was sitting in traffic for nearly 30 minutes until I finally broke loose onto Route 46.

I made it to work in no time, and as I was walking into the office I received a phone call from my dad that went something like this:

Dad: Hey Princess, how are ya? (yes, I’m 23 and my dad does still call my princess EVERY TIME I talk to him – I love it)
Shana/Princes: I’m okay, just walking into work – how are you?
D: not bad, I just wanted to hear your voice.
S: are you sure? What’s wrong?
D: nothing, I just miss you.
S: seriously – what’s wrong?
D: ok so I was listening to the radio and I heard that there was an accident in Clifton on route 3. I just wanted to make sure you’re okay.


AHA! So the truth comes out.

After I hang up with my dad, I sit down at my desk and start my day. About 2 and half minutes later, I get a text from my mom that says:

Mom: Morning! Have a great day!
Shana: you too! Dad just called me too…
M: We love you that’s all
S: haha any certain reason?
M: I heard that there was an accident in Clifton on rt 3 so I called you, maybe dad heard too
S: haha yup that’s exactly why
M: haha yea you should know that you’re loved and that we’re not just freaks too


So that jerk that caused the accident definitely ruined the beginning of my day, but I must say these two little interactions with my parents made you a little less of a jerk. It’s crazy how I can be almost 100 miles away from them but a simple phone call or text can make my day. so thanks for that. =)
