Kids!

An adorable story from this morning’s National Post:

SURREY, B.C. -Andrew Binns, five-year-old, took charge after his mom Shawna tumbled face-first down a flight of stairs, knocking herself unconscious. Andrew first called his father and then 911. That done, he prepared a bottle for his 23-month-old brother Ethan, to calm him down while they waited for paramedics to arrive. “You never know what your kids can do until thrown into that situation. I’m very proud of him,” Shawna said. “He tried to call my husband first. He didn’t answer, so he called 911.” Shawna had cracked her nose badly and was bleeding. Though not able to get up, she still heard a bit of the 911 call. “I guess they asked him where mommy was bleeding, and he said, ‘She’s bleeding on the carpet.’ “
