runaway six year old
when you were about six, did you ever have those fantasies of just sort of absconding with the family car, overlooking the fact that you don't know how to drive...i saw a six year old today who had done just that. judging from the look on his face, he'd done it inadvertantly, and was not terribly pleased about the fact that he was suddenly careening down fifth avenue at a cruising speed of about eight miles an hour. no matter. eight miles an hour is scary when you'r not in control.
his rampage was finally ended by one of the neighborhood men of driving age, who took a flying leap from his own car, jumped into the driver's seat of the kid's truck and stopped it four inches from a parking meter.
it was beautiful, beautiful, i tell you!
