The problem with cats is that they get the exact same look on their face whether they see a moth or an axe-murderer. —Paula Poundstone

This is one of the most disturbing posts you’ve ever run. Amazing, but horrifying.

Oh my gosh! These people are unbelievable and should be in jail. And to think they also vote as well as procreate!

Family groups on bikes is so common in India, zip down the street like nothing!
But Bitter Bluebird, you’re scaring me here! Baby in a milk crate? Car seat in traffic? Upside-down in zoo….agh! Child abuse/neglect in broad daylight and seemingly so happy with it! 😵

The second one is a common sight in Bali. I also saw a person moving an entire full-length palm tree on their motor bike, no joke. But the rest… egads. Horrifying.

LOL! Long ago I switched out car seats in the middle of winter and put the old one on top of the car while I got the baby buckled in the new one inside where it was warm. Of course I forgot the old car seat was sitting on top of the car. I freaked out dozens of people, all quite convinced I had just tied the baby to the top of the car and driven off.

I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I used to give my baby wine when she was teething to dull the pain.

At least my mother put the beer in a baby bottle. I’ve seen packed motorcycles in Taiwan. It was insane to watch. Anyone that doesn’t believe in Angels needs to look at these. That’s all that’s keeping those folks alive. OMG!
