Survival

I have made it through another week. And, I am relatively okay. Work is...busy. Anyways, I don't want to talk about me. I want to talk about people who let their children run around like maniacs on the road. My street is full of children every day when I come home from work. It is making me crazy. When I was a kid my parents would have flipped out if they caught me playing on the street. I feared their wrath. Granted, I did occasionally play on the street but it was always brief and I was always scared of getting run over. The kids on my street drive their bikes across the street from one driveway to another as I am driving towards them. They draw on the street with chalk as I am driving towards them. They run across the street from one side to the other as I drive towards them. And, what makes me really crazy is when they run, play, or ride their bike in circles on the road. They literally go in circles over a 2 - 3 house radius over and over. Then, the cheekier ones actually wave when I drive by and it makes me want to scream! The hilarious thing is they all wear helmets. So, their parents must watch enough T.V. to care about helmet safety. But, what about teaching your kids not to play on the damn road? That's what I want to know.
