Bad Idea...

Has anyone been driving around, got stuck in traffic, and noticed the car in front of them had their ENTIRE family in stick figures on the back of their vehicle?? I have seen flip flop decals, stick figures with mickey mouse hats, action stick figures w/ the kids favorite hobby .. pets.. you name it. Some of these also have the names of all the children in the family under their corresponding stick figure. I have even seen a last name, like "We're the Johnsons!" I think that is so dangerous! Not only can strangers look at the car and tell how many kids are inside it, but they have an estimate of the ages, and names right there! People are so stupid these days. They are just asking for some murderer to snatch their kids right up. Am I just being pregnant/going to be first time mom and irrational here?

Your right Lori! I have always wondered why on earth people would want that on their cars...thats silly anyways.

I agree as well. I see those and I think the exact samethings. You notice it because its not something you see all of the time, so you take a little more interest in looking at it.

Hey, also I hav your Modbe stuff. I will be getting it on SAT! tomorrow night. should I just take it to Kelli's with her stuff?

I totally agree - I don't mind so much when they just have pictures (to each their own), but when they add their names - that's just scary. I don't understand the logic.

I haven't seen this before. But I agree, not a smart idea.

That is so funny because I actually thought of that the other day as I was driving and saw one of those... maybe it is a first time mom thing... but man- I think it is SOOOO scary!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Also, it is another reason why I think private blogs are better. I thought of the same thing when Delaynee started kindergarten. I didn't want her name on the outside of her backpack. Somebody has to keep the little ones safe. I am getting excited for you. Your time is coming soon.

I've seen them and thought the same thing, plus in the crossroads journal and such they announce things like the no cavities kid with first and last name and picture! I mean do the parents what child predators after their kids? I always do everything I can to keep our son safe, even on the blog site. I think it's smart to be paranoid about it.

I so agree! Even if you don't post your name with the picture it still lets those pervs or weirdo's out there know how many kids you have, if they are boy or girl etc. Gives those psycho people out there more of an incentive to follow you home since they know you have kids!

I just wanted to tell you that I am so excited that in approximately 22 days you will be blogging about baby romney. :)
