You are wound really tight, aren't you? Relax. it's a joke.

OP here. I was hit by a teen driver when I was a child. I spent months in the hospital and had to be pinned back together. I have permanent scars from the accident. When you or a family member goes through something like that please let me know how funny you think it is. The slogan is in really poor taste given how much pedestrian fatalities have increased in recent years.

Of course you were OP.

Yes, I was. I’m happy to answer any questions about it. I had a fractured femur and spent two months in traction, another eight weeks in a body cast, two months on crutches and another several months in PT learning how to walk again.

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.

I feel like a lot of these responses are really just one poster trolling the OP.

The bumper sticker is not at all funny.

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?

Have you seen the teen drivers around here? No, I don't think it was a joke.

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.

Not a troll. There was also a private school sticker on the car.

Name the school please!

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.

I think they're just dealing with being awkward, angtsy and trying to act tough.

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.
