Camouflaged Couch

Have I ever mentioned that unusual things happen to me?  Well...they do, and tonight was very unusual.  I was driving home with my son after his judo class.  We were right behind my husband who drove separately. I noticed that my husband swerved to the right suddenly, and stayed in that lane.  I thought it was because he wanted to get off at a different exit.  That's when I noticed a camouflaged obstruction.

I saw what looked like a big, brown moving box out of the corner of my eye and swerved to avoid it.  I still hit it, but thought it was minor.  Since I'm in an SUV,  it felt like I had only "nicked" it.  It wasn't until my husband signaled for me to pull over that I saw the actual damage and learned that I had not hit a box.  I had hit a big, dark brown coach in the middle of the freeway at night.

I had to call the police, and file a collision claim with my insurance. My poor baby was so scared.  I hope it doesn't raise my premium much.  Fortunately, we're unscathed.  What an interesting way to start the weekend...
