The Slowest Three Seconds Of My Life

I faced one of the scariest situations I have ever experienced yesterday.

My Nephew and I were having dinner and, as he likes having the TV on while sitting at the table, I was changing the channel for him. Then, he slowly brushed past me pointing at his throat.

He was choking.

I jumped up, dropped my plate that was on my lap and grabbed the first thing I could see - his belt.

And then he coughed up the food.

My action didn't prompt the dislodged food to move so I'm not claiming credit for it. I keep running that moment through my mind and I just don't know why I went for his belt.

For something that only lasted a few seconds, it sure did scare the hell out of me.
