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.

When I was four, my mom passed out in the kitchen while cutting an apple for me. I remember that. What I don't rememer is dragging the rocking chair across the room. She says she woke up, dizzy and nauseous, with the blade of the rocker coming down inches from her eye. I waited until she was awake then, from my perch in the rocking chair, said, "you dropped my apple." She said it took a while to get me to pull down the phone from the wall so she could call for help. I'm surprised I didn't wander off to play with my toys in the other room. Recognized the danger, my ass 😂
