Stop!

So what's a girl to do? I had a dream that I had to take O out of school early to see the dentist (I do actually have to take him out of school twice next week - one time being for a hospital appointment). We had to race to find the dentist as it had moved (and never mind the fact that I haven't been near him for the last four years- well he keeps threatening me with stuff...) Anyway, we can't find the dentist and we are on Victoria Street in Douglas. P is with us by now and he and O are suddenly on their bikes. N has also joined us (where did he spring from?) We are crossing the road via a zebra crossing (which doesn't really exist as it's a pelican in reality). We cross. N and I are over to the other side when a car with an old man at the wheel drives up the wrong way up this one way street. We scream at him to stop but he hits O and doesn't stop. I phone for an ambulance straight away and we tend to O at the side of the road. We think he's going to be ok but there's no ambulance. I phone again because I realise I've forgotten to tell the emergency services exactly where we are and an ambulance has been roaming Douglas all this time trying to find us apparently.

I wake up and O presents me with a letter from school telling us that year 6 are to start cycling proficiency next week...
