I was out for a hike one day when I found a young girl at the top of a cliff, all alone and crying.
"Hey kid, why are you crying?" I asked.
"Mister, my mommy's all the way down there at the bottom of the cliff! sniff"
"Oh no..."
sniff "She fell! And my daddy tried to catch her and he fell too!"
I put a hand on her little shoulder. We had a quiet moment there, the two of us, alone, at the top of the cliff.
Then the little girl said, "Mister, why are you unbuckling your belt?"
"Sorry kid. Today's just not your day."
