Then she stopped at a red light. There was a car in front of her which
she didn't pay much attention to. While she was stopped, she thought 
she would look into what was crawling up her leg. 

Her foot was on the brake pedal, and as she looked down, she saw a bug
crawling up her leg, which threw her into a frenzy. She jumped, her 
foot got off of the brake pedal, and she reached down to grab the bug 
and throw it out the window. 

As she did this, her car lunged forward and hit the back of the car in
front of her. 

Officially, this was an accident. She got out, and the man in the car in
front of her get out, and they looked at the damage, fortunately, there 
was very little damage. They exchange insurance cards and names, and so 
forth. 

Then she went home. I was already home, and as she came in the door, her
cell phone rang, and it was our insurance company. I sat there, 
overhearing all the information about her "accident." 

She hung up the phone, looked at me, and said, "It wasn't my fault. It
was that stinking bug's fault." 

"But," I said as soberly as possible, "weren't you behind the wheel?" 

She just looked at me with both hands on her hips and then turned around
and walked away. 

Nobody was hurt, not even the vehicles themselves. But it was an
“accident.” 

The next morning she had to go somewhere else, and as she opened the
door, I said to her very carefully, “Be safe. Drive carefully.” 

She looked back at me and said, “Very funny.” 

It's so wonderful to have the upper hand finally. 

As she closed the door behind her, I chuckled and then thought of a
Scripture verse.  "Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men 
should do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the 
prophets" (Matthew 7:12). 

One thing I have learned in life is to be careful what you allow to bug
you.
