That was my first thought as well.
Parents are such idiots these days. The number of parents I see walking along with kids trailing behind them is appalling. WATCH YOUR KIDS. It’s part of being a parent.
And the number of parents who let their kids charge out into parking lots is even worse. Parking lots are the most dangerous places going and instead of holding tier kids hands or carrying them, they let them run around where they feel like it.
I taught my kids from an early age to be careful in parking lots because the driver of the car is not very likely to see you.
I remember one day my teenage sons both began running toward the other side of the parking lot to buy a snack. I yelled at them “How many times have I told you to NEVER run in the parking lot?”
A father with his two young sons told his kids, “See? Even big boys aren’t allowed to run in the parking lot.”
