Funny story told by Mom and Dad

Hello,
So Dad, I was laughing pretty hard when you told me the story about your accident.   I can totally picture mom just rolling over and going back to sleep ha-ha...even though of course you did not do that :) (I will post a little insert of the story that Justin is talking about from each of my parent’s letters, so you can hear both sides of the story…it’s kind of funnyJ)

 I remember going to the priesthood session with you, those were some good times. And then after the priesthood session was over we would always go to that place called Deans or something? or trading table (I think he means Training Table J) and you would always get the mushroom burger and I always thought that was sick. I remember these things...I like the pictures that you guys sent me a lot (thanks to mom) but I would like that picture of you and mom and I promise dad, I don’t care what your hair looks like.  I think my favorite one was of mike sleeping, that was pretty sweet.  Last time I also asked you about sending me a copy of your talk dad.  If it’s alright I would still like you to send it, I wanted to read it.
And I’m really sorry I forgot again to get the address of where we are living. Today has been kind of crazy and I’m actually kind of in a hurry right now but the week has been really good.  Me and my companion are having fun together.  That is also very sweet about the temple in Durban that was really cool news even though it’s not quite in our mission. Ha-ha that’s really cool about Logan and being like super interested in all the planets. Man I miss the grand kids like crazy, back home sometimes I just thought that they were like monsters sometimes, but I miss them a lot.  I like it when you guys tell me things like that.  I’m really sorry this is so short, I’m kind of in a hurry.  Hopefully I will be able to tell you guys a little more next week.  Take care… Love you guys.

Dad’s side of the story:

We had General Conference yesterday and today. After Priesthood, Ray asked me lots of questions about how you’re doing. Anyway, on the way home after eating I got into a small accident on the freeway. I was making a lane change and looking to make sure there were no cars next to me when all of a sudden the traffic ahead of me were all coming to a stop. By the time I looked in front of me it was too late. I made a mad dash to the other lane to avoid hitting the car in front of me but I still clipped the car’s left rear bumper. We both pulled over and I gave him my insurance information. It did very little damage to his car and you couldn’t even see anything on my truck. This is the first time I have ever hit anyone and I felt really bad. The guy was really good about it all but my guess is that they’ll have to replace his rear bumper. It’s really hard to fix plastic bumpers without replacing the whole thing. When I got home mom was asleep, but she woke up and asked me why I was so late. I said that I was in an accident and she said “Oh,” and then rolled over and went back to sleep! Oh well!!
Mom’s side of the story:

Hi Justin,
 It looks like I need to clarify dad’s e-mail a little.  When he came home from conference, I woke up and asked him why it took him so long in getting home – then I thought he said, “There was an accident and that’s why I’m late!  I didn’t hear him say he was in an accident – that’s why I went back to sleep…. I didn’t find out until the next morning that HE was in the accident!  Had to straighten that out!
