Wife said she saw it on the news. No mention of a cell phone, though. Most children survive to adulthood because God protects them from stupid parents.

I feel like I am a true believer in God, but I'm don't think I care to comment on that one, other than this post..

No cell phone - she was hitching up her trousers that were apparently too loose.

She was adjusting her pants. Between losing baby fat, not locking a stroller and slippery shoes she almost lost her baby.
