to go into the MCX to get a little haircut. And I notice a nice looking young lady with her cart and a small child(girl about 18 - 20 months) in the seat portion. I'm checking out the "goods" and she bolts off leaving the cart on the sidewalk. Think she was running to her car to get something. As the thought runs through my mind, that's not very safe, the cart begins to roll toward the street and curb. That's when I notice that there is another 3 - 4 year old little boy hanging on the back. I'm a good 40+- yards from the cart and it's only about 5 feet from the curb. So I hit a dead sprint and dive just as the cart is going off the curb and tilting toward me spilling the little girl out. I slide underneath the cart on my knees catching it with my right hand so it wouldn't smack the little boy or little girl and with my left arm/hand I catch the little girl like a football before she plants her pretty little head into the ground.
Now, I probably should have put this in smackdown with some of the replies that will come towards the mother but for some reason I wasn't upset at her stupidity at all. I think I'm just happy I was there to prevent such a bad thing from happening, I would have hated to imagine what would have happened to the little girl if I hadn't caught her. One thing I've always prided myself on is paying attention to everything around me and I'm glad I was today.
Anyways, still a little shaken and it's been about three hours since this happened.
