I saved a baby tonight

[Shaun @ Tru6]

it happened so fast.

I'm in Harvard Square looking around and was walking down the sidewalk when I see this baby carriage rolling perpendicular to the street, going right toward the street, but just to the right is what looks like the dad picking something up off the ground and it's a wide sidewalk so I don't think much other than I expect his arm to go up and catch the carriage but it doesn't and then the carriage is really rolling and people are just walking by and I take a few fast steps and grab the carriage just as the front wheels go off the sidewalk, with cars going by!!!!! It was crazy. inside was a little tiny baby, and then the dad is there so I go off on him and am yelling quite a lot and he says he's sorry and I give him the carriage.

crazy!!!!

That made me sick just thinking about it...

Thank God you were there, Shaun.

That child may have grown up to be the next Hitler, though.

[szyzygy]

I mean, maybe that child WILL be the next Hitler and we would all prefer that it had died as an infant.

Sorry, I have a twisted sense of humor. No disrespect, of course I'm glad you saved a baby.

OMFG!!!! ROFL!!!!

Seriously, that father will never let it happen again. Good work, Shaun.


However... you did just extend a questionable genetic string...

Well done Shaun - being observant always pays off!

Amazing how many parents.......shouldn't be parents!

[VaSteve]

That's like one of those things that's happens in movies. On the next block two guys were unloaded a wedding cake!


Good job.

I'd have told him "Buy $5,000 bucks worth of Little Traveler and your wife will never know a thing. Your baby will be well dressed and the wife won't kill YOU!"

[Shaun @ Tru6]

I wish I kept some scotch on hand.

edit: very funny Craig! I just sort of stormed away, got in the car and drove home.

[Hard-Deck]

Great citizenship and observance.

[pavulon]

may have been most effective to stare at him and not say a thing...maybe scotch if too far away to do anything yet see it all go bad. You deserve a reward like a steak!!

[M.D. Holloway]

Maybe he will be the next Shaun? The world will look better in the future!!!

[Buckterrier]

Way to go my Shaun!!
But SZY does have a point
Remember the Start Trek where Captain Kirk couldn't save the chick he loved because it would have changed history?
You my friend may have just chanced history!!

Good job, Shaun.

Years ago I remember hearing a story on the news of how some baby (in carriage) rolled down a steep driveway and into the middle of the J-way. Fortunately no cars hit the carriage.

The Dad was prolly a conservative ... They always take their eyes off the little people

[Noah930]

I don't think there are any conservatives in Cambridge. Mebbe he was a tourist.

Cool, do you think that you where there for a reason? Right place,right time?
I mean I saw that accident you survived......
Glad you were there
