I nearly got run over after dropping my son off at school recently. As it turned out, the driver swerved in the nick of time, swore in Sicilian, and drove off. So essentially, nothing actually happened. Yet I was left in a state of utter agitation.
Instead of going straight home, I decided to drop in on a friend in the village, in order to let off steam by gibbering at her.
