Baby On Board, So Back Off!
When I am driving I like to read the bumper stickers and magnets and whatnot on the cars in front of me. It keeps my attention on the road and passes the time. I like the little family ones and the military ones, and can’t stand the “git-er-done” ones.
With this said, I have a couple on my vehicle. I never wanted to be a bumper sticker person because I thought it looked tacky and messy, but now my car has 4 stickers, 2 magnets, and a sign!
My first was a small Maryland flag sticker, to commemorate when my move to North Carolina became official and I had to trade in my license plates. Then came the Chinese symbol for dream, which my husband gave me because it is meaningful to us. After that I was given a Border Collie sticker because of our dogs, and next I bought a Christian fish sticker in hopes of some extra Jesus protection while driving with all these crazies out on the roads!
I also obtained a pet rescue magnet when I adopted my dogs from the pound, and my husband made me a “Baby Rockstar” magnet which I have yet to put on because it is way too cute to go on my car.
My most recent “car ornament” has been one of those silly Baby On Board signs; you know, the yellow diamond shaped ones with the black letters that you see all over the place. I slapped that bad boy on as soon as I found out I was pregnant! I viewed that sign as kind of a warning to others on the road that I was carrying precious cargo so they better watch out! No funny business please like tailgating me or else! Or else what, I have no idea, but it sounded good in my head…
I was thinking that no one would bother me know, what with the Jesus fish on one side and the baby on board on the other; I was untouchable!
Yeah right, I think these stickers actually seemed to make other drivers more obnoxious than usual! I know I am a grandma driver that usually goes the speed limit, and that is why I stay in the slow lane. For some reason people go out of their way to stay right on my bumper. Not cool.
READ the stickers! RESPECT the stickers!
Sarah, I have a confession. I never paid one lick of attention to the Baby on Board sticker until I actually had a Baby on Board. I think that is because I actually slowed my speed down enough to read stickers since I had Sayle in the car. I do respect the stickers now as I have an understanding of transporting precious cargo.
I appreciate the fact that you respect the slow lane rule-I wish everyone would. Tailgating in the slow lane is not cool!
Well I am glad that you respect the sticker! Now if only you would stop riding my bumper, haha (:
Yeah I’m all over the slow lane, it’s just me and the grannies.
i only have ONE sticker type thing on my car.
A TEXAS FLAG!!!
woot woot!
Don’t mess with Texas(:
