I just got an $829.99 iPad2 for $83.37 and an awesome $1299 MacBook Air for only $111.93, its being delivered tomorrow. I would be an idiot to paying high prices at places like Walmart or BestBuy when I even sold a 42" HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $77.53 for. I use SnagBids.com

As a dad myself, I'd like to think I'd turn my back on the ball and shield my kids with my body. But those balls come in fast, and my kids are kinda jerks anyway. They are MY kids after all. I really don't know what I was expecting, but, let's be honest: I did NOT know myself when I started fucking. Starting to know now though. Destructive little brats.... Hell, depending on which kid, and how they were behaving that day, I might hold them up to get BAPPED. Save on my hand hurting later.

I think this is an honest mistake.  By the time he lets go of her, she's as low as she'd need to be to be standing on the ground, it's just that her feet are on the railing, not the ground.  He probably could feel that he wasn't taking her whole weight, and incorrectly (since he's distracted by the hardball plummeting towards them) judges that she's on on the ground, maybe on her tiptoes. He lets her go gently. She clearly feels safe enough around him to vent her anger towards him, since she jams her elbow into him.
