WTF moment
Have you ever had a "What the F***" moment?
Today I went to pick up my girls at their daycare. As I pulled into the drive I notice a lone child standing at the playground gate. A two-ish year old boy, all by himself, on the playground. I went to speak to him, he seemed fine. As I approached he held up a sand bucket, the kind you use to make sand castles, ya know? Then he ran back to the toys. I sprinted to the door of the daycare and laid on the bell, all the time keeping one eye on the kid. One of the teachers came out of the door closer to the playground and I yelled at her that there was a kid on the playground. She brought him in, and he was upset at having to leave the playground.
I was terribly disturbed by this scene. How do you leave one of your charges outside? They only had about 10 kids there at that time, how do you miss one? And all I can keep thinking is what if something had happened to him while he was unattended, what if someone had kidnapped him, what if it had been his mother who found him and not me? What if it had been my child?
