Hey there, speedster,
First off, can we talk about the need to SLOW DOWN? I can’t exactly shout it at you from my front porch while I’m playing with my two little ones, but believe me, I’ve come close. My kids are mastering sidewalk chalk and my daughter is doing her best to escape my grasp, which feels like a tug-of-war with a tiny tornado. She has that adventurous spirit, always drawn to potential trouble—like a moth to a flame!
It’s my job to keep them safe, and honestly, it’s tough when you’re zipping by like you’re in a Fast and Furious movie. The speed limit here is 25 mph, yet you seem to think that’s just a suggestion. I’ve seen you—yes, you—texting or chatting away while you zoom down our street, completely oblivious to the little ones playing nearby.
Sometimes, you’re that young guy with the wild hair and music blasting, racing off to pick up a girl. I know her, and she’s a fantastic kid. I can’t help but wonder if her mom knows you drive like this. I should probably give her a call later. Seriously: SLOW IT DOWN.
Other times, you’re the sweet older lady in a Buick, and I’m left scratching my head as to why you’re speeding past kids who could easily dart into the street. Don’t you have grandkids? Or a neighbor kid you adore? We’ve chatted before, and you’re always so kind to my children. Do you really not worry about hitting one of them? I like you, but please, SLOW IT DOWN.
Then there are the fellow parents in minivans, rushing like they’re late for a race. You have your own kiddos in the car, yet you zoom by my little ones as if it’s no big deal. I get it, life can be hectic, but it’s scary! SLOW IT DOWN.
And let’s not forget the cheerful middle-aged guy sipping coffee as he waves at me like we’re just pals passing by. Newsflash: I’m flailing my arms, not to say hello, but to signal you to SLOW IT DOWN!
It’s like you don’t even realize how fast you’re going. Yes, I’m hyper-aware of my kids, but why can’t you also obey the traffic laws? We’ve tried to do our part, but you treat our street like a racetrack. To every speedster out there, from a concerned neighbor: PLEASE, SLOW DOWN. Don’t be surprised if I call you out next time. You’ve earned it.
