I was looking at cars at a dealership in Caribou. I saw a Dodge Challenger and in the background I saw a lot of cars and people. They were looking at cars. It was a sunny day. I told my dad that he should get the Dodge. He said no because he already had a car but I told him that when I get older I am going to want it. We didn’t buy it that day.
On the way home we hit a moose and the car got wrecked. The moose was big, brown and tall. It landed on our windshield and I was in the back. It was scary and my dad was scared. We were not hurt and went to the mall after that with a car that the dealership let us borrow until our car got fixed. He decided to buy a truck and trade his car in on it. My dad got a truck that same day.
We went home and I told my sisters what happened. Bobbie-Lee, Sam, Haley, Hunter and I went to get pizza at the store in the new truck. We got a pepperoni pizza and we ate it in the truck. Haley dropped her slice on the floor and I cleaned it up. The next day my sisters and I almost hit another one and when we got home we saw one in the driveway.
It was night time when we went to my mom’s house and I told her about hitting the moose. My mom lives in a different house from my dad and me. She said that must have been scary and I said it was very scary for Dad and I.
I told my mom that Dad did not want to drive anymore because he thought he might hit a moose and he would get hurt. I went to bed and had a dream about the crash. I woke up at midnight at my mom’s place and went to her room and told her about my dream. She told me to go back to bed and I did. The next time I was with my did, he hit a deer! The truck’s front was broken, hanging down to the ground. We got a loaner car this time from the dealership until my dad got his truck back. He was so happy to have his truck back.
We were driving it home and my dad was happy. My step-mom Jana was so mad that she told my dad that he had to bring it back or it would be gone faster than you can say “MOM”.
My dad went to the truck and he heard BOOM, BANG, BANG. He ran to the garage and saw his wife breaking the truck’s bed and doors. He hopped in, putting it in reverse and drove through the garage door and left the house making the wheels screech.
While this was happening, I had walked to the store to get a treat for me and my dad. He saw me, telling me to hop in. We went to Big Burger and had a burger and fries. It is the best place in the world. On the way home we hit a mommy deer and it was not good! I was in the front and it hit the window but the other car was also not in good shape because its window was cracked.
My dad had to lay down on his bed because he did not feel good. I was ok my hand hurt. We did not have good luck with deer and moose. He decided to drive a Gil’s dump truck instead of a pickup from now on.
The End
