11 Year Old Girl Stops Sick Mom's Van. Girls Rule!

Earlier today an 11 year old girl stopped her family's van when it veered out of control after her mother went into a diabetic coma.  I'll admit to a little gender bias when I danced around and yelled "GIRLS RULE!!!!" when I heard this on the news.

11 year old Abigail Parker took control of what could have been a tragic situation. When her mother started driving erratically, Abigail climbed into her mother's lap, stopped the van, calmed her brother, and dialed 911.  Now THAT is multi-tasking, my friends.  That is some kick ass courage and presence of mind for a wee 11 year old.

Girls rule!!
