My mother and I were in a car on a state highway, returning from an out patient therapy appointment - she was driving. For just a moment she was not being aware of the road, and I had to point out - “mom - Mom, the light’s red! Stop!”
She hit the breaks, one arm thrown in front of me - a standard parental gesture to protect a child - and the car stopped without a problem.
Her eyes were wide, breathing heavy. “Oh, Lethan, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up any memories from your accident - ”
“-Mom, don’t worry. We’re fine. No memories came up. Don't worry, I don’t really have those. I was in a coma, remember?”
A short little true story. I still find it funny, through grated, it is a little dark.
