A woman had three small children: two-year old twins (a boy and a girl) and a newborn baby. One day she was giving the little girl a bath, while the little boy was supposed to look after the baby and call her if the baby should start crying.
The boy discovered the soft spot on the baby's head where the skull hadn't quite yet grown together. He pushed against the spot, and by accident pushed his finger into the baby's head. The baby died right there. The boy got such a fright that he ran out of the house, into the road, where a truck ran him over.
The mother heard the commotion outside, and went to see what the matter was. Of course she went into hysterics over the boy's death, but then when she returned to the house, she found that the little girl, who had been left unattended in the bath, had drowned. Some minutes later, she also found the dead baby...
