Why? Was Trump driving? Cruz?
Just kidding.
Having raised kids and taken care of grand kids I’ll swear to the fact they can get away from you so quick it is unbelievable at times.
I was driving past a apartment complex that had a street entrance that sloped down to the street when all of a sudden a little boy on a bicycle comes screaming down the drive way and directly in front of me. I couldn’t have missed him by more than 6 inches. Scared the daylights out of me.
He didn’t run into the road in front of the cop.
He was already in the middle when the cop came up.
A couple of other people in the road a short way down.
Kids in the road are scary. Several years ago, I was
driving in to Franklin and as I started into a curve,
a baby girl was just sitting in the road playing. I stopped,
got out & scooped her up and carried her into the trailer
park where she had obviously wandered from. Someone directed
me to her mother who had been busy cleaning and she got
away unnoticed. They are so fast! - Then another time, later, I was headed in to Nashville on a rather rural road.
A little girl was down at the highway by herself & was just
too little to be there that early in the morning or any time
really. I just told her, “young lady, get back up that hill
and get back home!” So, she did.
Then, there’s the cattle herding I do. One day I was
driving over on Hardison Mill. A little calf was running
up the road headed somewhere. I stopped the car and
started nagging at the little heifer to get back inside
that cattle gap! Well, she took off running back down the
road, looking across her shoulder at me and bawling me out
real loud; all the time with me lecturing her. Then she
ran back across the cattle gap and into her pasture. I
hope she’s still okay. She was cute as a button!
