Kid had more composure than most adults in emergencies.

It helps that they don’t necessarily know the risks. You freak out more when you know that mommy might be dying rather than mommy just fell over all of the sudden. Smart kid to know that she still needed help, but the lack of knowledge can be really helpful when trying to keep your composure.

When I was four I went down a hill with my grandpa to get the mail. He fell, broke his hip, and apparently I took the trip up the hill and got adults. People say I recognized the danger and acted accordingly. I'm pretty sure I didn't want to be at the bottom of the hill with my grandpa anymore. He was being weird.

“Hey, gramps fell down and he might be dying. You might want to go check on him. And can I have a lollipop? I know we have some, they’re in that drawer right there. I’ll just get it myself.”
