Thank goodness my husband wasn't in the car when this happened.
And no, this wasn't the result of an encounter with a psycho rock. Rather, it's what happened when this exploded.
This is a CO2 (carbon dioxide) cartridge that he uses to pump up his bike tires. He's left them in his car plenty of times. The disclaimer even says it should be ok in heat up to 120 degrees. Apparently, it exploded, ricocheted off the windshield, and popped a hole in the upholstery. There was even a ballpoint pen stuck in the passenger seat. I shudder to think what would have happened if he had been driving at the time. So now we just need to replace the windshield!

Good grief! The unintended hazards of combining exercise and extreme heat. I'm so glad A wasn't in the car at the time (and when I saw the picture, I thought you'd been in a car accident! this is weirder but much better!)
Wow - B is sitting next to me and I read this post to him - we are both aghast. Super glad no one was hurt!
Good heavens! I'm glad no one was there.
Wow!! Is that his car or was it the van? I did not like seeing that picture...thought you all had been in an accident. I'm glad no one was hurt. Hope you can get the windshield replaced soon! Yikes!
Scary!! Glad everyone's safe!
Holy cow! That is so crazy. The twins are totally adorable and AMAZING at holding their heads up!! HELLO tummy time for Cate, we've got to get working so she can hold hers up by Christmas.
That will teach him to clean out his car more often. Ha! Glad no one was hurt.
