Parents of reddit, what are your "I looked away for ONE second" stories?

I was helping my daughter learn to ride a bike about a month ago. We live in a culdesac so I was running right next to her in the middle of the road no cars came the entire time, we don't get much traffic.

After running up and down the road a couple times I get tired out and decide to bring my bike out to show her better.

I ride my bike out to the top(the driveway slants down toward the street) of the driveway and stop.

My daughter rides right past me just as a car is coming. I couldn't run and stop her because I was on my bike.

I yell "stop stop stop stop stop" but she's not stopping. I make eye contact with the driver, wave my arms and point at my daughter in the road.

Thankfully the driver stopped in time.
