moving faster than a walk but slower than a run. more importantly, consider the inertia of six feet three and 225 lbs. rounding a blind corner. i felt the soft impact on my shin, but a harder more firm impact just above my knee.
the midget was knocked on her ass. instantly mortified, i felt like Andre the Clumsy Giant. i instinctually reached down with both hands to pick her up by her armpits (my conditioning as the parent of a 3 year old).
luckily before i could embarrass myself further, she popped to her feet as if ejected from a toaster and continued on her was as if nothing ever happened.
no eye contact and no words exchanged (other than the horrific gasp the escaped me when she hit the floor).
an apology, my ignorance is grand. i know "midget" is not politically correct terminology, but i am certain it is better than "little shit".
