As unlikely as it sounds, I hit a car today after my Bulgarian lesson.

I was daydreaming about Bulgarian grammar and the active present participle--сегашно деятелно причастие. (<em>Right?!</em> How sexy is that?!)

It went something like this:
<ul>
	<li>The man who is reading doesn't want another coffee... Мъжът, който чете, не иска още кафе. --&gt; Четящият мъж не иска още кафе.</li>
	<li>The teachers who are reading homework want vacation... Учителките, които четат домшана работа, искат ваканция. --&gt; Четящите учителки искат ваканция!</li>
	<li>The mother who has three children must to buy them new clothes... Майката, коята има 3 деца, трябва да купи нови дрехи за тях. --&gt; Имащата 3 деца майка трябва да купи нови дрехи за тях.</li>
	<li>The loving man... Обичащият мъж...</li>
</ul>
It was at this moment in my grammar-daydream that I tripped on a pavement tile and in the process fell off the curb. My feet weren't under me so I lost my balance and full-on hit a car. It made a really loud noise and I was mortified. I got up and brushed myself off quickly.

I assessed the situation. Me: scraped finger and banged-up knee. The car: fine.

Walking away, I realized the best part of the whole incident is that the car didn't have a car alarm.  Frankly had a car alarm gone off when I hit the car that might have made me cry.
