OK so today in the Kindergarten pick up carpool line I was getting all my little kiddos into the car. I waited just a moment for everyone to get their seat belts on and I put the car into gear. I turned the wheel, flipped on the blinker, and ever so slightly edged toward moving to leave. Suddenly, a little boy on the sidewalk dashed into the carpool lane (not quite to the crosswalk area might I add) and ran right in front of me. I wasn't barely moving so stopping quickly was no problem. In my natural instinct though I raised my hands in a "where did this kid come from" fashion - then out of the corner of my eye this heavy set lady sitting in the handicap parking spot threw her hands up to mimic mine as she GLARED at me. Wow. I could understand such hostility if 1: I had come even close to hitting her kid and 2. If I had rolled down my window and actually yelled at the boy who did NOT use the crosswalk. I know this isn't that big of a deal. I should be more careful watching crazy children during Kindergarten pick-up. But don't you think if you aren't going to get your butt out of the car to walk your child to the parking lot and make them cross the busy cross walk to get into the car by themselves you should just go through the line like the rest of us???
Just saying.....I will be more careful when losing my road rage during the *ever stressful time of carpool. *HEAVY sarcasm indicated....

Oh my gosh, I would have been upset, too. She really should have been in the line if she wasn't going to get out of her car. And no kindergartener should be allowed to walk (or run) through a crowded parking lot/pickup line, without adult supervision....and not just supervision from the car on the other side!
