Expensive Service Project

With our usual morning routine, the 3 younger kids come outside with me as we stand in the drive way and watch Sydney and Emma walk to school.  But on this particular morning as the garage door opened
a 11yr old boy bailed on his bike right in front of my house.  We are talking head over the handle bars,
flipped over in the air, landed on his bank and onto the grass.  The poor kids was in some serious pain and I knew that he was just barely keeping it together.  Plus his shorts were gashed open at the top of his thigh and gushing some serious amounts of blood.  Due to where the injury was I couldn't apply my first aid skills.
I asked him if he wanted to call his mom or for me to just take him home.  He asked for a ride home.
So I threw my babies in the car, helped him into the front seat and went back for his bike.  I then realized his bike was too long for the back of my van.  So I laid down one of the back seats and rolled it inside, even though it still stuck out I left the back door open.  Thinking that this would due for the short ride.  I tuned on the car, rolled backwards a millimeter when POP!!!!

Followed by a shatter of glass and screaming kids.
The garage door caught the rear window at the right angle
and "hasta la vista baby",
good bye window.






Hello, very expensive act of service
and neighborly kindness.
