You know those moments, as a parent, when you see your child in a situation that is nerve wracking (piano contest - my least favorite event as the girls will tell you) or the moment you hear the noise of the lawn mower hitting something and stopping....you run around the house to find your youngest son on the ground beside the mower with his arm wedged under it?
I think my heart exploded. Poor kid was just trying to clean something out from under the shut off, no blade spinning mower. None of those things registered to my mom brain. Kid on ground, under mower and me screaming my head off. Way to go mom! He was perfectly in control of the situation, he's been mowing for over a year, he knows safety precautions....again not registering with mom brain. He was also uninjured until I hollered and then he raised up and cut his finger. Is winter here yet? I think snow shoveling is safer for both of us!
