I love this kind of randomness

So a customer of mine leaves to go pick up her mom and daughter.
She gets back and the daughter and mom get out of the car. I am talking to my customer while the mom sort of wanders off to look at the cars and the daughter is just standing there with a faraway look clutching a hard plastic toy about the size of a lunchbox that is in the shape of an animal or something.
In the middle of greeting my customer " hey, so you want me to bring that Jetta down for you?"
the little girl (3 years old or so) sort of pirouettes and just breaks into a full speed run....
let me interrupt myself for a second....

She doesn't make a sound, there is no expression on her face, she is just suddenly running.

She crosses 2 empty parking spaces and then slams into a New Beetle. Her torso and the weird little plastic animal impact the car loudly and she sort of bounces off the car and starts to amble back towards us, no evidence on her face or in her demeanor that she just Kamikazied a New Beetle.
The grandma calls her by her full name "Autumn Marie Salazar!" and she bursts into tears.
The mom sort of puts her hand over her mouth and looks around like "oh, shit! did anybody see that?"
and lets be honest, I have made that face at least 1,000 times, for I am Turbo's father!

sorry to go all 'Highlander' on you but...There Can Be Only One Turbo's Father!

Ok, so the kid caroms off the car, gets yelled at and cries.

But really? I feel like the victim here because I have just seen one of the funniest things ever and I can't laugh.
And there's nothing cool I can say, "yeah my son used to run into cars at full speed, they're so cute at that age."
