The recent events have kind of awed me in a way--no less than 5 women at that school threw themselves in front of a gunman to try to save the lives of the children in their care.

I wonder if I would be that brave? Or would I be George Costanza, knock everyone over and save myself?

If it was to save kids...I'd probably be that brave.

Kids brave, if stockbrokers at work, costanza.

It is true, with kids, it would definitely bring out the most heroism.

But if I was on the bus...total Costanza!

I don't really have nightmares, not ones that I remember anyway, but I frequently have really vivid dreams where it feels I'm spending hours in some sort of fight or flight scenario, either I'm kicking the ever living shit out of someone trying to hurt children- my children, other children, or we're running away and I'm protecting them from someone trying to hurt them. As in life, I win. I'm not good dealing in hypotheticals, but in my dreams I kick motherfucking ass.

Always protect those weaker or less able to protect themselves.
