More stupidity
(Category:
News & Notes

You're in your van and your two year old daughter is asleep in the back seat. You've got to stop and pick something up from the office. Do you:
A) Wake the tyke up and bring her inside with you?
B) Lock the doors and roll up the windows and go in alone?
C) Leave the van running and unlocked with your sleeping child inside while you go into the building alone?
D) A or B
E) Anything except "C". Really, just about anything you can possibly think of besides "C". Don't pick "C"!
If you picked "C", how would you feel while watching the van drive away?

I've always done A. It is dangerous to leave the windows rolled up; the car heats up like crazy so quickly, it really is a frightening thing. And I've always feared those crazy accidents; someone ramming the car by accident or something and whether the car is locked and stopped or running...well I guess I've always been a worrywort. I know most parents do leave the kids in the car for a few.
In the summer I do A,too.I the winter B but only,like mentioned in my blog,walking backwards into the gas station and keep looking at the car.Lets face it,the register is about 10 feet away from the car and if someone wants to get in the car it'll take them much longer then it would take me and a few others to get to the car.
However.......I never thought about the accident part....indeed someone could ram your car,even in a parking spot in front of a store!Brrrrrrrrr...
I'm a Jewish mom; believe me, if it is possible to envision some weird tragedy I've done it. It is in the genes...
