After completing a CPR class, my mother was eager to use her new skills. Little did she know, her enthusiasm would lead to a hilarious misunderstanding in a crowded mall.
My mother had just finished taking a CPR class at a local college when she and I were in the mall and saw a big crowd gathered around a still body.
Mom took off running at a speed I didn’t know she could muster, yelling, “Everyone back! I know CPR!”
Just as she threw herself next to the body and was about to begin, a pair of strong hands pulled her to her feet.
“Ma’am,” said a police officer beside her,
“we are trying to arrest this man.”
