We live on the corner of a busy street. I do my best to keep my children from getting hit by a car. I have posted speed limit signs and I have in my possession a bright neon yellow SLOW CHILDREN sign. They all go through that dart from the house into the street phase. Where Timmers is now. I yell STOP instead of his name. I read somewhere that they hear their name in so many different contexts that it won't save their life if they don't stop when you yell stop. Food for thought.
I remember when I had 2 children. I had just gotten the mail and was sitting and watching them in the yard and I glanced down at a letter. I looked up to see Sarah heading towards the street and a truck stopped. The man yells, "YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB THAN THAT!!!" Very loving, very kind. I smiled and waved and said "Thank you!" in a most sarcastic way.(it can be a little hard to detect at times, but I can be pretty sarcastic)
Save a life. It's spring.

Wow, nice guy!
When I was on a tour train in the capital city of Idaho, the tour guide called the speed bumps, "sleeping policemen", maybe we need a few more of those.
Better job, indeed!
I was thinking; I could bring some demo over and devise a few cratering charges so that drivers would have to slow down to a crawl or lose their suspension, exhaust and driveshafts.
Just a thought; let me know.

If you take Swampy up on his offer, I wanna watch.

1.He probably never had kids
2.If he did, he never had to actually take care of them
I'll never forget the day my kiddos & I were holding hands in the Wal-mart parking lot when we walked past a woman's car and she started backing up, nearly running us down!! I was so mad! I yelled, though I was trying to be as courteous as a mama bear could be. She slung her head out that window and started yelling at ME as if I'd been in the wrong! In front of my babies no less. Oh yes, it was a cat fight with all the hissing but no scratching. It's hard to maintain composure when someone nearly runs your child over. Sissy could'a taken her on for sure *L*
that girl,
Why do people want to run us down? Parking lots are The Worst! Shopping at Walmart is like an episode of Survivor.
