Things that make you go "Hmmmmm......"

We were sitting at a red light and I saw something that struck me as odd. In front of us there was a man with a small child (maybe...10 yrs old MAX) on the back on his motorcycle. I looked back at my children and it struck me how odd it is that we have laws (and rightly so) that would give me a BIG FAT FINE for not having each of them strapped and harnessed in to the heavy, steel-framed, Suburban we were driving. Yet, it is perfectly alright for this man to put a (relatively) small piece of fiberglass over this child's head and weave him like a speeding bullet in and out of traffic with nothing even holding him onto the bike, except for his little hands clutching the back of the seat.


Hmmm.............................
