It’s easy for an adult (paticularly an older adult) to forget about being a kid. She’s probably not around little ones nearly to your extent. She empathizes with the kid because she puts HERSELF in the kid’s shoes, where a fall can mean serious injury. Had it been YOU that tumbled, well then the whole place would probably rush over to embarrass you. And of course women are more tuned to concern and compassion than we jaded men.
