So, picture this: Alison’s son, Aiden, was just a little baby. A tiny, adorable, completely helpless human. And what did that tiny human do? He had what Alison calls a “baby incident.”
And by “incident,” she means he managed to fall off a bed. Yep. The bed. The one place you think is safe when you blink for two seconds.
Alison recalled the moment with such vivid detail you can almost hear the thud in your imagination. She said she heard a “dreadful noise” and her heart literally stopped.
The Aftermath: A Mother’s Panic
Now, here’s where it gets both funny and terrifying. Alison rushed to pick up baby Aiden, who was obviously screaming. But instead of just crying, he went completely silent.
And if you’re a parent, you know that silence is way scarier than the screaming. It’s the sound of your soul leaving your body.
She described standing there, holding her breath, wondering if she’d broken her child. The trauma was real, folks. It was the kind of panic that makes you forget your own name.
