From the news today: Don't parent and drive

Crying doll gives teen parenting, driving lesson

Read full story for latest details.


I find this pretty funny, actually. Now the schools are going to have to start teaching when it's appropriate or not appropriate to let your baby cry. Like, for example, when doing 65mph on the freeway, it can probably wait.

That's what happens when they get you all built up about failing the class if the baby cries to long, though. The girl's probably a D- student that couldn't afford to fail that class or she wouldn't graduate, and if it wasn't in the news her teacher wouldn't have believed "I had to let the baby cry for 3 minutes un-attended so that I could pull over safely."

You know, the latest ones I've seen of these dolls have a key that you have to use, and the zip-tie the key to your wrist so that you can't have someone else care for the baby. Made me feel sorry for the kids that are in band/cheer/sports, I thought it would be more responsible to get a baby sitter than to take your baby to a football game...
