It Could Never Happen To Me
Yet I put on my seat belt anyway.
It could never happen to me,
But I teach my kids not to talk to strangers.
It could never happen to me,
yet I lock my car doors anyway.
It could never happen to me,
but I look both ways before I cross the street.
It could never happen to me,
But I teach my children not to take candy from people unless they have Mommy and Daddy’s permission.
It could never happen to me,
But I keep emergency numbers next to my telephone.
It could never happen to me,
Yet I keep a first aid kit in my car trunk.
It could never happen to me,
But I keep matches, lighters and candles away from my children.
It could never happen to me,
But I keep the doors to my house locked at all times.
It could never happen to me,
Yet I never leave food cooking unattended
It could never happen to me,
Yet I never leave a space heater on when I go to sleep.
It could never happen to me,
But I never give out my social security number over the Internet.
It could never happen to me,
Yet here I am behind an overturned table with no means to protect myself…
