While waiting on my young voice student to arrive home and prepare to for her online voice class, I get a call from her mother driving her that she had just been rear-end by another driver.
Earlier she said that they were driving home to get to the voice lesson. I sent a text message that said “drive carefully” and sat down at the piano and waited for them to call when they arrived home.
I get a text back that she and her daughter, my student, had just had an accident and were on their way to the hospital. I felt terrible that I had sent the text right before the accident occurred.
Did I text that into existence? Just being courteous–or was I? (Daunt_Daunt_Daunt_Daunt___) Could the mere mention of something catastrophic spin it into existence? I wonder, am I over-thinking this?
However, I know how it is driving kids to auditions, casting calls, dance, acting and singing lesson and sports. It can certainly be “uber-stressful” and dangerous driving back and forth to these events. Ignore the text messages while you are driving and be safe out there y’all.
