"A Mother's Roar"
So I'm driving my daughter who is six months, to her babysitter and I hear a sudden thump. I look in the back seat and the car seat flipped over. I panicked in silence, put my hazards on and pulled over to the side. I opened the back seat door and didn't find my baby. I calmly flipped the car seat over and saw my baby still in the seat but her face and body expression was full of fear. I wanted to scream, cry, yell out or hit something but I just calmy kissed her and rubbed her hands. As I began to readjust her car seat, a car behind me started to honk repeatedly. I slowly kissed my babies forehead closed the door behind me and slowly walked up the the car. I was full of a new rage that I've never felt before, I asked the driver " are you honking at me"? And he said "yes". I then asked why ? don't you see my hazards and you have plenty of space ( in a slow,scary,still voice)? I then told him I had an emergency and there is a small baby inside the car. He paused for a second then apologized. I thought his response was going to be a rude typical New Yorkers attitude and if so , I was prepared to mangle his face with my teeth. I think he knew I was a mom who had the look of death in her eyes and he and I didn't want to take me there......
