The Angry Landlord, the Brick Wall and the Worried Young Woman

A member of my family drove into a brick wall and damaged it. They didn’t mention it because they didn’t believe it was a big deal. You’d think hitting a brick wall with a car would be a big deal, but apparently it was more like hitting a raccoon on the highway: it makes a lot of noise, but it’s a lot worse for the raccoon than it is for your car.
