oh and don't trust the fucking drivers in my town, i took my daughter out on her bike, and someone waved so we started to cross and then three drivers zipped by in the opposite direction, she had to very quickly walk her bike backwards to avoid getting run over

once when she was even littler we were crossing the same intersection, i had her in a wagon, and we stepped into the street. after we had begun to cross some car just sped into the intersection and i had to push her backwards in the wagon back onto the sidewalk or else we would have both been toast

BUT ON the plus side, it was raining and it stopped raining (I always try to end on a positive note)
