Instinctively I grabbed him by his hood, nearly choking the poor fella, and managed to get him out of the way just in time. Bless the lil chap, crying in mid air with me holding him by his hood until the car passed. When I put him down he was crying and screaming 'That man hurt me!' The lady was like 'Shut up' and clipped him round the ears saying i'd just saved his life and to thank the man.
The lady was so thankful and tried to convince me I was her guardian angel,lol! She hugged n kissed me and then asked where I was off to. I told her I was on my way to buy some eggs and she offered to pay for them for me. Ofcourse I declined the offer, being the gentleman that I am. But she wouldn't take no for an answer! Should've told her I was buying a bottle of brandy to!
It just made me think how careful and on the ball you've gotta be when you have kids around, you cant take your eyes of them for two seconds, especially to spark up a ciggy! In my opinion they shouldve have been on the other side of her(so if a car does hit them, she would take full impact, (commen sense really) and she should've been holding their hands. I did make a point of saying ot be more careful infuture, but she was so shook I didnt wanna go OD on her. Anywho just thought I'd share with you guys n girls!

Peace and remember to STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN:thumbsup:
