Lost In a Stroller!

Driving down the street, I had to pause my journey as the light in front of me shifted from green to yellow to red. I would have considered thinking about possibly ignoring the light and going on anyway, but it would have required driving through the pedestrian, and that's not healthy, either for the car or for the passenger in the stroller that's being pushed across the street.

So instead, I just watched them. Now for the most part, if you're young enough that you can be pushed around in a stroller you're not that interesting to watch whilst being pushed around in the stroller. But this kid was different, for as he got to the first waiting vehicle, he started waving. And not a little wave, either, a "Lost In Space", "Danger, Will Robinson" arms flailing wildly wave. And it was obviously a wave, for as soon as he got past the car, he stopped. Until he noticed that he was in front of my car and started waving again.

Or at least I think it was a wave. It may have truly been a "Danger Will Robinson" warning, but if he knew enough to let his mother know to watch out for cars, he should at least know to trust his mother more than that.

Either way, that kid was much more interesting than the two-year-old whom stumbled along behind /her/ mother, looking as if she'd lost her best friend. Or a lolly pop. It's hard to tell, with a two-year-old.
