A couple of years ago, Effie Kong was walking on the sidewalk with her little sister.

They were in some reveal Massachusetts city just north of Boston.

It was a pretty lively night, you know, February, but it was not super frigid and it actually

felt like quite festive and alive.

So we were both in good spirits.

And then Effie and her sister went across the street.

We actually tried to cross once and I pulled her back and I was like, oh wait, let's

wait until the way is clear.

By the way, Effie's sister was much younger.

She was just 12 years old at the time.

And then I told her a joke and she was laughing and then asked, we were still in the wake

of that joke.

We were crossing the street.

And then they were hit by a car.

Time slows down.

I almost have a shot for shot memory, like if you were to look at a film up to the light.

My first thought was, did I just get hit by a car?

And then my second thought was, I couldn't have just gotten hit by a car.

This doesn't happen.

And then my third thought was, is this guy going to stop hitting me with his car?

And then he slams on the brake.

I get whipped down and I fully face planted on the pavement.
