Dear 7-year-old little girl on the sidewalk this afternoon:
It's good that you have learned the habit of looking both ways for cars before you cross the street. However, you do realize that the intention is that if you see a car coming your way, you are supposed to STAY WHERE YOU ARE on the sidewalk? Assuming you intend to live to be an 8-year-old-little-girl, you are NOT supposed to RUN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET IN FRONT OF THEM.
It wasn't even a crosswalk. You're just damn lucky that I saw YOU.
-Your neighbor,
whose cake got squashed when she had to slam on the brakes halfway through the turn, leaving her stranded in the middle of the lane of oncoming traffic.
