Scary moment...

dreamflowerThe DH and I had a rather startling experience today. We'd gone to the store this afternoon to pick up bread, milk, ice, etc. and were on our way home when we notice a little tow-headed toddler (probably about 18 months old) trotting up the middle of the street!!!
At the same time we pulled over and I got out to see about him, a truck coming in the other direction did the same, and a young couple in a nearby house also came out. None of us knew where the child had come from, so we called the police.
While we waited, a young man came running up in a panic. It was the daddy-- the child had been in a fenced back yard, and he'd gone to get something out of the house-- he was only gone a minute and the child was gone! He was very relieved to find his baby! They lived about a block over and by a different street altogether. Fortunately the street he was in the middle of was a quiet residential street with little traffic-- but sometimes people DO speed on that street!
As for the child, all he had to say was "I go to my house!" LOL!
