Children on the net.
I take issue with people posting pictures of their children on the internet in certain situations it is not at all appropriate and in fact is down right dangerous. Like on a dating site for example…. can you say sexual predator?
He: After reading your profile i figured I’d send you a message anyways. I can’t dance and I’m showing off my kids proudly. Ha, what an ass. I feel guilty now.
Me: I see no kids. And dancing is a freeing of the spirit. Everyone can dance.
He: Maybe I do have a conscience after all the kids aren’t in the profile anymore. I loved your little pep talk there, I’m now convinced that I’m worthy of a little dance floor real estate. I should probably u-tube a few dance moves before I go just to be on the safe side.
Me: And a mirror. Always in front of a mirror. That is how stars are born.
He: I thought it was illegal, even leaving a dog in your car is frowned on, but sometimes it is quicker and easier if you leave em behind. I went on holiday once and left mine in the car at the airport until I came back, had an awesome time.
Me: Neglectful maybe. Illegal, no.
The dog was in your car until you came back? Um how did it eat and stuff? Didn’t it destroy your car?
People frown upon dogs in hot cars. I don’t think anyone cares about when it is mild out.
He: It wasn’t a dog but my kids that I left in the car.
Me: (Ok wait a second is he being serious? He LEFT his kids in the car and got on a plane? I am going to assume he is kidding…) Meh… If I leave them in because I will be in and out I always leave em buckled so they can’t strangle them selves or take the car out of gear. Frick mine ask to stay if I am just going to be a second!
He: Wow funny you should mention the seatbelt thing, cuz on a serious note I did go pay for gas one time and found my daughter choking on her belt. That was pretty scary.
And that pretty much wraps the neglectful parent conversation which turned out to be totally off the topic of putting your kids picture online. They aren’t an advertisement people they are your children and need your protection until they are capable of protecting themselves. Yeesh.
