Default Scare for the day

Was at the flea market across from our shop today checking out an old coffee table the wife spotted. Whilr looking at it I hear people yelling stop so I turn and look. They are running in my direction so I look around and see a little guy about 5 sprinting like a pro running back. He was sprinting towards a road. I broke and ran. Halfway to him I see a car coming. Thankfully the driver was paying attention and was on the brakes hard. I scooped him up in the road and he is home safe with mom and dad. Had that lady been playing with her phone he or we may have both been hit. A text can wait a few minutes and parents be mindful of how fast a little one can vanish. No one is perfect at driving or parenting. We just gotta do the best we can. I just tank God that little guy is safe and his parents or the lady in that car don't have to deal with what could have happened.
