A 4-year-old girl displayed her extreme phone-holding abilities when a strong gust of wind blew open the door she was holding onto, sending the girl flying with it.

Brittany Gardner was unloading her vehicle when her daughter Madison walked up the front steps to enter their home in Lyndhurst, Ohio, on Wednesday. When Madison opened the door, the wind blew it open, taking the 4-year-old with it. Madison managed to not only hold onto the door but the phone in her hand.

"She is totally OK," Brittany told Fox 8. "She was scared at first, then was laughing away at it. She held on until I took her off the handle."

Brittany later uploaded the video to Facebook, set to Frank Sinatra's "Come Fly with Me."
