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!!
