A Mother's Worst Fear!

Short Story:

Yesterday I went downstairs to see if the D8 library was open, and I talked to Anh Thang for a bit. Anh Thang goes back into the management room, as I start my trek back up to the 4th floor. I walk by the front gate, and then hear screaming. I look outside and see two boys about 4 years old running towards me, running into D8 screaming like they were going to die. Then I see a large chasing them, coming at all three of us very quickly. As the two little boys run up the D8 front steps, I know I can only save one of them. It was a split second decision, and I decided to save the smaller boy. I ran towards him and whooshed into my arms, getting reading to kick at the big dog. Anh Thang comes running out too, and then...The dog reaches the 2nd boy and starts licking him happily. I realize that the dog was never a threat, and I whooshed a confused little boy into my arms. I put him down, and then the boys go chasing after the dog who runs from them, then they start running and screaming again, as the dog switches direction to playfully chase them again. It was really embarrassing. It all happened in a matter of seconds, but I misjudged and embarassed myself in front of Anh Thang, two little boys, and a crazy dog. But when I thought the dog was a threat, and I could only choose one boy....that sucked royally.
