This hits far too close to home...

I just saw this on CNN.com: Four-year-old killed by lawn mower

I'm a bit rattled by this at the moment. See, the same thing happened to me when I was three. My dad was mowing the grass on a riding lawnmower, and accidentally backed over me. Those are some of the earliest memories I have, and they're also some of the clearest. Obviously, I didn't die, but my right foot got chopped up rather nastily. I'm better now, thanks for asking. But I'm extremely careful to this day when dealing with lawn mowers, even the unpowered push type. Especially when my girls are around. I feel horrible for this poor boy and his parents...
