It Happened To Us

Well it happened to him...  Peter.

He got caught in an escalator.  Yesterday.

It was scary.

I got to use my super human momma powers and pull him out as the escalator pulled him down.

We were going down.

His right pant leg got caught on the side.

I heard a ripping sound and Peter turned and said, "What's that?"

That's when I began to pull.

His pants continued to rip.  For several long seconds.

All the way up to his hip.

Shreds.

But I saved him.

And I hugged him.

And he was frightened.

And we had two more down escalators to traverse to exit the art museum we were leisurely perusing.

He held onto his pant shreds and stood in the middle of the remaining escalators.

He made it.

But we were a tad late to the international student picnic we were expected at because we had to stop at a store to buy him some new leg coverings.

But what a great story to tell.

And it was probably on camera.  Maybe they'll send us a fatty check for our trauma.
