Omg this takes me back to an accident from a loooong time ago (new driver ran stop sign and hit me). Still remember exactly her first sentence in the police report:
“There were leaves covering part of the Stop sign so I didn’t stop as long as I should have.”
Growing up, my mom always answered "pickled pig's feet" when I asked what was for dinner (my dad helpfully said "poison"). I always thought it was a made up thing until I saw a jar in a store once!
