Men may be better at math and science, but women are certainly better at multitasking. Not just for biological reasons, I doubt any man could do this:
Debbie Coleman, whose 3- and 4-year-old daughters were asleep in the back seat, pulled over at a gas station just after midnight Tuesday.Please, no jokes about women drivers."I asked if she needed help, and she just leaned back in the seat, hollered a little, and I looked down and there was the baby's head," said station co-owner Lloyd Goff, who was alerted to the emergency at pump No. 7 by a customer.
Goff said Coleman "threw her leg over the steering wheel, groaned once, and the rest of the baby came out.
"She caught that baby, put it to her chest, gave me a look, like, 'I gotta go,' closed the door, put the van in gear and away she went." [...]
As officers went looking for her, Coleman headed for the hospital, naked below the waist and with the baby boy in her arm. His umbilical cord was still attached.
"I kept pulling over, making sure (the baby) was all right, breathing," she said.
Meanwhile, police had straightened out the license plate issue. But another caller mistakenly reported someone trying to throw a baby from a van.
Coleman said she noticed several cruisers following her before one cut her off. With guns drawn, officers ordered her out of the van with her hands up.
That kid is going to grow up to be a road warrior.

Posted by: Robert Garrard at April 1, 2005 3:00 PMYou think that would happen in a muslim country? People like this woman (not to mention stories) are what made America great!
