I have just gotten news of Vicky's latest screw up today at noon.
Last night she had the entire gang of friends from school at the movies... and got back home in her car. It was late at night... the movie ended at midnight and she was already very sleepy. But she didn't think that was something too bad for her to get home, after all its nearby.
By the time she was driving down the road... well she was attempting to drive at a stage where she had to make a VERY conscious effort just to keep her eyes open and even falling asleep for several seconds at a time.
After a while she got into the expressway just as always... a minute later she woke up from her sleep (apparently she was by now having short dreams
) by the incoming headlights of a car. When she got to evade the car skidding in the expressway, she realized something: at the entrance of the highway... she had gotten herself on the left side of the highway.
That's when she pulled over on the side of the highway, and almost got around to just get on the right side of the highway and keep driving... but she now was scared to say the least of driving when you are as K.O. as she was, so she called her mom to pick her up.
I honestly don't know who is crazy enough to drive when you can't even keep your eyes open... but you have no idea how scared I got when she told me that.
She says she won't do it again... just that she thought she could be awake for enough time and that her home was just 15-20 minutes away, why bother to call mom to pick her up.
And when she calls me from her cell telling me the tale, I am sitting there saying "Vicky, my dear, didn't you ever think that it was a tad dangerous to drive while sleepy"? She had not.
I honestly don't know wether to feel upset or to laugh.
