Here is a hypothetical question:

You are a stay at home parent of 2 children ages 3 and 5. They were playing on the swings in the backyard, possibly out of eyesight of you. And the 3 year old breaks his arm. It's possible the kid is in so much pain he doesn't yell out... How long would it take you to realise your childs injury?

I never took my eyes away from the kids. My daughter hit the ground and I said "oh crap, you broke your arm.". She was always pretty calm - she asked "is that my humorous bone?". We put her back in the stroller and went to the ER. It's better not to be too distracted. I'm glad I didn't have to drive there.
