Almost Killed a Child

10/04/05 | by Joseph A. di Paolantonio [mail] | Categories: Personal

Driving home today, a small boy darted out from between parked cars on the opposite side of the street from me. Luckily I was going slowly; even luckier, I started braking as soon as I caught movement in my peripheral vision, before I was even sure what was coming towards me. When I finally focused both my vision and my attention on the boy, I had stopped. He was four feet in front of me and still running towards the other sidewalk.

I rolled down the window on the passenger side and yelled at him - for about five minutes. I then told him to go home. I guess he's basically a good kid, as well as being alive, becuase he looked chagrined during my down dressing of him, and put his head down and walked towards his home when I told him to go.

Amazing.

Now THAT's too close, for sure. When we were growing up, we lived in a house which faced a main road - I mean, this road was one that brought traffic into town - and although our dad would let us sit around the verandah with adult supervision, if he ever found us out there alone, man o' man.
