Do i have the power to end a thread? ^^

Thankfully, I have pushed the posts ahead a page.


I think that dancing baby could kill the thread....

So I ask you -- is it animated?

No...it only appears to be.

Can't sneak nothin' by that rabbit.






Happy Monday, Bunny.

Waaah!


That is cruel...it is, indeed, Monday morning.


And I should be asleep.

Time is a bitch of a dominatrix.

Oh my!



Nearly had a child under my wheels tonight coming home.


Little girl on bicycle darted out of an apartment building carpark right in front of me.


Luckily I saw her in my peripheral vision, and slammed on brakes.

That awful moment when I had no more control over the outcome, but could only watch.


In the event, I stopped in time, and she was so freaked she sort of ran into the front of my car.

Little terrified face saying "I am so sorry, I am so sorry"

Gave her a cuddle, told her that she had just made a mistake and everything was fine, and I was only happy she was ok, and said I bet I was more scared than she was, and took her home to her mum.

Mum NOT happy child had ridden onto road......but they DO, mum...they just DO.



Still a bit shaken.



Phew.

There, there, Bunny. (pitty-pat on li'l furry head) You're OK and the kid's OK and nothing came of it. There, there.

A cell phone might've done her in...

Thank you Merry...closest I have come to ever hitting anyone. I need a hug.



What do you mean Patio? If I had been talking on a mobile phone, are you thinking?

((((HUG))))

Bunny- In a perverse way, you may have done her a service, since nothing untoward happened from the incident. I'll bet that child will be super careful on her bike from now on.

Jeez, Deb, I'd be shaken too. And reshaken every time I thought about it.

Sending you a gigantic hug.



(((((((((((((((((((((bunny))))))))))))))))))))))))))))


Glad the little girl is ok.

<Gustav walks by and pats dlowan on head>

me too.

little kids and dogs are both notorious leaper-outers-in-front-of-moving-vehicles.

i've witnessed quite a few near-misses (thankfully never from behind the wheel...)

The only time my father hit me was when I ran out into the street after a ball. One potch on the tuchus. Never forgot it. Never did it again.

I'm betting that the little girl won't do it again either.

Sorry, yeah, that's what I was thinking. Just a knee-jerk response -- I rate cell phone use while driving with drunk driving as a public risk.

Really, sorry to respond like that. I'm very glad you and the wee one came through it okay. (And perhaps the wee one even came out of the experience a little bit wiser...)

Wee one got busted being on the road. Apparently this was NOT part of the deal with riding the bike. I think natural consequences have had their way with her.


But......what kid DOESN'T end up on the road, just this once, with their bicycle, however enjoined not to.


I felt awful grassing her, but I figured mama needed to know.

Poor little thing, I think she thought I was gonna yell at her.

Yell? She's luck she wasn't suffocated by being hugged to death!!!!


I just bet it was a christmas bike.


Yep, luckily I know about the dashing out in front of thing, and I tend to be hyper alert. I usually just kind of KNOW if someone is about to do that.

So relieved for you that the worst didn't happen, Deb.
Phew.

Bunny, you have my sympathies too.
My nerves would be very jaggled...
It's the imagining how close to bad something could have been is almost as bad as it actually happening. Luckily it didn't.
