Crisis averted

[Father Kit Cool Gun Garth]

Shopping at Publix after work today and I started freaking out.

After pulling into my parking spot and exiting my vehicle,

I walked by the vehicle in the spot in front and to the left which had it's windows up; however, the engine was running. Even though the windows were tinted I saw no one in the front seats.

My heart skipped a beat when what appeared to be a child seat in the back.

As I turned around I involved the lady in the vehicle next to me inquiring as to whether she noticed the vehicle and my concern that someone may have left a child in a running car while they shop.

As we both peered through the glass we felt embarrassed that a teenager was staring back at us.

I told the lady that it was better to be safe than sorry later and she responded that she was pleased that I took the time to be concerned.

I was just glad it wasn't a child.

Too many children die from being left in vehicles alone.
