Turned Phrases

"I got into an accident"
"I lost my baby"
Neither of those statements is completely true. The most recent "accident", I was rear-ended by another car Monday. I didn't do anything, I was at a complete stop.
As for losing my baby, completely untrue. I didn't misplace a damn thing!
Bah! I haven't been in "an accident" since 2004, that was my fault. I fess up, I wrecked my car. But the phrase "I was in an accident" brought to mind the December of Disaster 2004.
I'm in the mood to place blame and to use "quotes" inappropriately and employ italics because all my views are slanted.
