You bring back unfond memories...
I was delivering pizza one weekday afternoon several years ago and I often used a side street
search: 870 meadowmeade, ada, mi to avoid a 4-way stop that alot of old folks couldn't seem to figure out.
I turned left on to Meadow Meade and saw a young couple; about the age of couples that have very young children. So I focused on them, looking for a darting child and from across the street (from behind the large pine tree I pointed out in the google/map search (satellite / almost full zoom)), their rugrat runs full speed. I couldn't have stopped in time and I was doing 20ish in the 25mph zone. He stopped 3 feet into the road and I was terrified. Terrified of the PMITA State Prison I was almost attending for vehicular manslaughter. The pizza uniform definitely would have gotten me a juicy (no pun intended) sentence. I not really fond of children but I'm a lot less fond of Bubba, my almost new boyfriend.
Point I'm trying to make is you need to go out the way to avoid teh littl chiddrens, no matter how stupid they are nor how stupider their parental units seem to be.
