Saw a license plate in VA:
“Virginia” Eats “Kids First” Hilarious |
I joke that I dont stop for jaywalkers... you gon break the law, you better do it quick!
Luckily I've never hit anyone! |
Umm I just think it’s weird that no one is willing to confront the real danger to our kids out there: truck nutz. |
NP.
I feel like a lot of these responses are really just one poster trolling the OP. The bumper sticker is not at all funny. |
I think it's terrible and uncivil. Dd11 has taken to child hating despite being one herself so it's a thing. She says little kids make her uncomfortable and they should go away. I don't understand at all and talked to her but dh said she was just going through some phase. I don't like anyone hating on kids (especially a kid!). I think they're just dealing with being awkward, angtsy and trying to act tough. |
Omg a guy on our block has them. We call him Mr. Balls. |
Nah, there’s a bunch of us. And presumably even if you think the bumper sticker isn’t funny, you still recognize that it is meant to be a joke, no? |
I think for an 11 year old it's about establishing boundaries between yourself and younger kids and making it clear that you're more grownup. It's basically drive by the natural insecurity of being still seen as a kid when you're growing up. It reminds me of the moronic anti-Barney stuff that was hilarious to middle schoolers when I was one; put up your screensaver where Barney dies and we know you're edgy and grownup. I do expect a little better out of anyone old enough to drive. By that point you should be more secure in these things. |
Have you seen the teen drivers around here? No, I don't think it was a joke. |
Right. I wouldn't let my kid have that bumper sticker. It's in bad taste, but many young people have bad taste but aren't evil. |
Name the school please! |
So…you think it was a serious bumper sticker, stating the driver’s intent to hit children with their car? |
That PP is seriously effed up if she thinks it’s a serious bumper sticker. |
OP's posts, a retrospective" #1 - "Isn't this terrible? There was a pedestrian fatality recently." [does not get the response she wants] #2 - "I have a young child, so I find it offensive." [still doesn't get the response she wants] #3 - "I was hit be a teen driver when I was a kid!" [still doesn't get the response she wants] #4 - OP catalogs injuries she suffered as a child. Verdict = troll. |
Is this your kid or something? The fatality was on Kirby road in August. An older woman was hit in the crosswalk. The car was parked at the Chesterbrook shopping center which is very close to Vinson Hall where the pedestrian was killed. The school is a Catholic private in DC. Many kids walk to and from Chesterbrook and Longfellow in that area. |
