Now that the weather is getting warmer, I notice a lot more young mothers out with their babies in tow. I have to say that it really bothers me how many of them are using strollers to walk with their infants on country roads that are don’t have sidewalks.
What bothers me about it is that most of them are walking on the wrong side of the road. If a passing car or truck kicks up some gravel as they pass, the poor infant is going to get a face full of gravel. That is asking for trouble!
I understand the desire to get some fresh air and enjoy the all-too brief warm summer weather, but if these folks can’t learn to walk on the correct side of the road (facing traffic) then I think that they should just stay in their yards and let the babies play with some baby toys to enjoy the fresh air. They’d be much safer that way.
