What if they had another baby the following year and just never updated the sticker?
or the kid is already dead
I think of it more of a “give me extra space because I may be distracted and exhausted” warning sign.
I love that song so much.
I wish they put out a Bee Sharps album with the full songs, they never did that and I am so disappointed they didn’t.
The point of those stickers isn’t to ask for kindness. It’s to let you know shit can happen on board and you may start driving like an idiot. Better stay a bit back so you have time to react.
If I remember correctly, the actual point of the signs in car windows is to alert emergency services to a child being in the vehicle in case the vehicle is in an accident. I could be incorrect however, it was just an explanation I heard decades ago at this point.
No, you’re right. It is so emergency services prioritise cars with the sign.
That’s why you must remember to always leave a baby in the car. It’s the law.
And also that honking/screaming at the car is (even more of) a dick move now.
And somehow many people with those stickers drive like the biggest cunts. Like having a kid excuses failing to yield or slamming on the brakes then turning without a signal.
Would make sense since new parents lacking sleep struggle a bit
Yeah I suppose that makes sense.
In Korea, people put “초보운정” stickers on their cars. “Beginner Driver”. They’ve been doing it for decades, so you see some pretty old ones. How long does one remain a beginner exactly?
There’s also 차사순, who is literally famous for failing her written driver’s test 950 times before passing.
Only 50 fails until glory
In Europe many countries have a mandatory sticker/magnet with a red “A” on white background to signal new drivers. You take it off after 2 years.
Legend. She needs a 차사순 sticker so people know to stay at least 4 car lengths away.
Like 10 years ago and suburban with one of thos was doing 35 in a 55 so I tried to pass him. Dude speeds up and proceeded to brake check me yelling out tge window that he has an effing kid in the car, like what? so i get beside him flip him off and go on my way. Dude followed me and called the cops on me like im at fault, long story short he got in trouble
That poor kid
Orr they could be having babies consecutively. know someone who has 6 kids one after another
Those baby on board stickers were so helpful, you’d see one and think okay, I’ll be extra careful not to crash into that particular car.
I keep a “baby on board” sticker on my car so people will assume I’m an exhausted parent and be less likely to pull a gun on me in traffic if I do something to annoy them.
Just American things™
Something something Burt Ward.
I know a couple who have had eight kids in eleven years. Their youngest is two months old. There’s ALWAYS a baby on board. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s already pregnant again.
They don’t have anything advertising the baby on their car though.
I mean, if they lose a couple would they even notice at this point?
Home alone vibe here.
