Thought of the day that I can't get out of my head...

I drive about all day going from house to house. A lot of times I see groups of small children (3 years old? 4 years old?) walking on the sidewalks next to busy streets with what I am assuming are the daycare staff that cares for them while their parents are working or taking a break or whatever it is that parents do that deem their small children go to daycare. They walk holding a rope that has handles in it that keeps them next to one another buddy system single file. Where are these children going? What is the need to cross all these streets? Are they actually tied to the handles "just in case"? I think they should be considering how unpredictable children can be. Is not one parent concerned with the fact that their child is brought across main roads with lots of traffic? Do they even know about this? I'm not exactly what you would call full of knowledge when regarding children but I do know small children and traffic don't usually mix well. The whole thing seems kind of obsurd if you ask me. Also, if I were going to pay for daycare for my child, I think I would send them to one that had everything needed available in the same location I dropped them every morning. Just saying...

Here's a nice disturbing video I found about children... I tried to find one of children running into traffic to no avail. I'm going to start picturing that little child beside me from now on whenever I am doing something I shouldn't be. At the very least it will help me do it faster so I can get the poor thing out of there.


And here's this one as well. It's just as disturbing but in a nice way. I don't know why it was listed with the other one but it was. Faith is Jim & Charlie's doggy hero and has been since we found out about her...
