Answer 5

I graduated from high school in 1989. I remember that my mom was on the way to the ceremonies and someone ran her and my sister off the road. The jerk didn't stop, and they missed my graduation.

I remember going to Washington D.C. on a band trip that summer, and someone flipping our bus driver off, and eating breakfast at a Bob Evans in Indiana somewhere. How's that?
