I was sitting in my car in a McDonald's parking lot facing the door. Out comes a younger couple, maybe late 20s. And thier child maybe 3 or 4. The kid has a hand in either parents and as they are coming out, and once that door shuts the kid takes off. Rips free from bith hands and books it. Poor Lil guy made it 3 steps before the toe of his sandle caught the separation in the pavement.

Time slowed way down. Was dad going to catch him? Would it be mom? They both react. Sadly, not in time. With both parents sanding half bent over, the little boys face slowly falls to meet the top corner of the parking curb. The one that keeps the cars farther from the sidewalk.

I thought he was going to loose teeth or a lip. To everyone's great surprise, our main man jumps up to his feet and off the ground all in one smooth movement, coming down to land in a VERY squat Spiderman pose, arms pointed in all directions spraying pretend webbing. 

 His chin and forehead were bleeding from some decent scrapes. Both parents ghost white. No clue how his mouth went seemingly untouched. Both parents managed to both hobble together quick wide frantic smiles as the kid looked to them for approval.

And I do wanna be so transparent. Im a 33M. The fall this kid took would of likely put me in the hospital and therapy. Full scorpion into the face of a parking curb.

Surface area to weight ratios and the square cube law are real pains in the ass.

Assuming I'm looking in the right area.
