I hadn't heard that phrase in years, and you're right, the incident was a perfect example of it. Yes, I too was grateful she was okay. Poor baby. I never will forget the frantic look on her face. :) Fred,

We were passing the main room which we noticed, was full of parents at the Boy Scout Eagle Badge ceremony. My daughter doubled up in laughter, which she does when embarrassed, which didn't help matters any.

Has to be the time that in an emergency once, I got into the car to drive to a nursing home. I was wearing the flip flop slippers that I normally wear at home. At a crowded lane, one of the straps of the flip flops broke and my right foot got entangled between the brake and the clutch and it was by some deft maneuvering that I was able to get the car to come to a halt without an accident or damage. Those few moments were the scariest ever for me. Since then, I never, ever, get into a car with just slippers on, even as a passenger, as you never know when you may have to drive. <abbr><em>rummusers last blog post..<a href="http://rummuser.com/?p=1445" rel="nofollow">Why Toilet Paper Belongs To America.</a></em></abbr> The most scary one?

Actually, it sounds a lot like my experience at a certain ski resort year ago... Glad she (and you!) survived to tell the tale, though! Tip o' the hat, Jean, for the WILF entry!
