Today I was at the bookstore with my mom. We were on the second floor and this kid, barely five, was trying to keep one foot on the floor while trying to touch one of the moving steps with the other. You cannot believe how much my mom and I shouted in horror. The kid's mom was nowhere in sight and we'd obviously thought the boy had gotten lost. But no, his mom and grandma were just around the corner looking at something that I can only guess was more important than the kid's safety. AND SHE DIDN"T EVEN LOOK WORRIED OR ANYTHING WHEN WE TOLD HER WHAT HER KID HAD BEEN DOING. How do you not panic over than! I don't think I was overreacting. A fall down the escalators and a broken neck is something to worry about.
