you hit our bush???

Recently we had a knock at our door. A guy said that he had hit our bush while he was driving to get his premature daughter oxygen. Wait, WHAT??

First, a little history on "the bush"...it is impossible to kill these bushes. They sit at the end of our driveway. The bushes, hibiscus, are immune to everything. They get so big that we cut them back to the point that we think they are going to die, but they come right back, even bigger than before. It is amazing. These things are indestructible.

So...the guy. I answered the door and he was all flustered. He told me that he and his wife had recently moved into the neighborhood and the had a premature daughter. He was out buying oxygen for the daughter and he hit our bushes. I was all like whatever, it's just a bush (I mean, with a premature daughter who needs oxygen, this is minor). He said he wanted to leave his name and I was all like whatever, it's a bush (I looked at the bush from the door, it was still standing, so what kind of damage could be done?).

After he left I went outside to check out the bush. Boy, he really did hit it. I don't know what happened but he must have crossed the road and slammed our bush. It wasn't too badly damaged, these things will grow back in no time, but God damn, he slammed our bush. There were leaves everywhere.

Whatever, it is so minor in the course of things. Good luck with your kid. Our bush is not a big deal. Know what I mean???
