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.

Yikes, that's scary! I'm so glad things didn't end up worse than they did.

That's why I've become so obsessively defensive in my driving. You can't always depend on the other fellow to do what he's supposed to do; sometimes you have to be prepared to react if he doesn't. Ya, it could've been a lot worse.
