One of my girlfriends had dropped
off her 3 year old son at daycare. The weather was very cold and
there was predicted to be a snowstorm later that day.
Mid-morning she received a call
from the daycare to pick up her child. The snowstorm was approching
much faster than previously anticipated. She picked up her son, and
as they were on the way home, the snow began falling heavily and the roads
became icy.
The car hit a patch of ice, and
her car spun several times. He son was safely strapped in the the
safety seat in the back.
The car spun off the road, and
somehow landed safely between a stand of several trees. My girlfried,
shaken, turned to check on her son in the back seat.
Her son looked up at her and asked
in his little 3 year old voice... "Mom... when we were going around and
around and around... who was that man looking in the window?"
Puzzled, my friend ask her son,
"What did the man look like?".
Her son replied, "He just smiled
at me".
