Niyathi and I driving merrily along. At a traffic intersection, I get a green and start moving. A humungus bus jumps the red light to my right and drives right through the intersection. I brake hard.
Reflexively, I blurt out "What the f**k!!". As I finish my expletive, I whip around in fear to my little girl. She gives me a sweet smile and say "Daddy. why did you say WONDERFUL to that bus?"
What a close shave!!
Now, both the girls chortle in chorus every time we see a bus "WONDERFUL!!"
Oh well, it could have been worse..a lot lot worse!!
