I Think My Mom Writes Signs For The Street Department

Oh, yeah:"Don't start!" That's Mom, all right. Okay, I'll only cross when the light says okay -- and I'll clean my room, too, honest. And I won't wear cheap green eyeshadow, either.

    Expensive green eye shadow is much better. :)

    If my mother had written that sign, the second panel woupld have said "Hurry up, you're going to get run over!"

    And only $23,000 of TARP money was spent per sign, also.

    "Finish crossing if started..." I'd been wondering about that.

    That's funny. My mother used to say "Here's a razor blade. Go play in traffic".

    The best part, of course, is that these are written instructions to explain the iconography that the government used to replace the written "Walk/Dont Walk" signs that people who could not read could not understand.

    Mom's clippings next to the phone read:
    They're the 10 Commandments NOT the 10 Suggestions.
    Guilt: the gift that keeps on giving.

    Any yes, I still get a clean hankie out of the drawer every day (or 3) and dbl. check my zipper before leaving the house.
    Thanks Mom!

    When I got a job in Texas, the only advice my mother gave me was a laughing, "Don't walk in front of any pickup trucks."

    Remembering this has saved my life any number of times since I moved here.

    Thanks, Mom!
