Child Safety

This morning I'm in a cab, and look into the car next to me. In the backseat is a small boy. Not only is there a small boy, but the small boy is swinging from the "Oh Shit" handle. You know that handle you're supposed to use to steady yourself on the roof of the car? That one. He was holding onto it with both hands, his feet on the roof, swinging back and forth like a little monkey. He looked exactly like a MONKEY.

When I see kids in cars, I rarely see them in child seats. They're sitting on laps while parents drive, jumping around in the backseat, and jumping around in the FRONT seat. I've seen mopeds, and the driver has a small child standing between his legs with hands on the handlebars.

Britney Spears would fit in well here
