BHAM! BI

So I decide to take the girls out for a drive to see this really expensive property that we could never get. Just for kicks. On the way back there was a fawn on the side of the road but trapped up against the fence of the Air Force Base. I stop to A) Show the girl's a baby deer and B) to somehow protect the deer from traffic. A big Red SUV comes barreling along in the other direction and I try and wave to her sort of vaguely, she sees the fawn last minute and then from my rear view mirror I see the fawn go flying/rolling off the side of the road. I say "oh My GOD" about 6 times and one of the kids is in the back saying "I saw the baby deer, he is nice" in kind of a panicky voice. They didn't actually see anything but the horror on my face said plenty. I then sped off instead of stopping and helping the woman. Aaahhhhh, I couldn't take it. I pictured her blaming me and calling me horrible names or having the girl's being scarred by a wounded deer.

It figures that the deer would be stopped up by the military fence (oh the irony!) and that a big SUV hit it.
