Mindless Mom

So this morning on my drive into work I was caught behind a car that had one of those diamond-shaped “Baby on Board” signs suctioned to the inside of their back window. All together now………awwwwwwww.

As we both rounded a bend off of the highway ramp I couldn’t help but notice that the overprotective mother who has extreme concern for the welfare of her infant strapped into the car seat, as noted by the “Baby on Board” sign that has carefully been placed directly above his or her carseat, threw a cigarette butt out of her window. The following thoughts raced through my head:

1. You littering SOB.

2. You’ve got to be kidding me that you are displaying signs promoting safety and caution around your vehicle for the sake of your child, yet you’ve trapped them inside a 4′ x 4′ junk box w/ a smoke chimney emptying it’s content into your vehicle. By “smoke chimney” I mean you, crazy lady.

3. UNBELIEVABLE!

4. I’m glad the cigarette is still lit on the cement. Maybe the toddler walking across the street with his father can step on the lit butt and burn himself. Then again, maybe she’ll glance down, whip open her car door and take another drag before tossing it in a different direction. No sense wasting it when you can inhale more black soot into your lungs. I wonder if she’s the chick who’s 2-yr-old was videotaped smoking pot?

5. She needs to change her sign to “Stupid On Board”.

And to think all of this in my head…………and it’s Friday, not Monday.
