I thought ALL moms teach...stop..look...listen...then get smashed? NOT... ..... this is so real of the way people don't learn and wonder why they get hit! 8o)mumj #7734304

I see this sort of thing all the time. Cell phones being dialed in intersections while driving...The whole bit...Maybe I should be on a special squad that takes these sorts of photos to teach kids in schools?

Now Laura, he's obeying the law! He's not WALKING...he's RUNNING! ha!

Tammy Espino July 13, 2009

I just wanna run them over when they do that here! I have been known to yell out the window, "Your gonna get hit, can't you read!" lol
LIke your idea of the little one taking their photo's! ahahahha #7736343

Did you turn into a traffic police officer sister? You should have given him a ticket!!! LOL! That is what they do in Beverly Hills, CA!!! I got one when I lived around there! LOL! Great capture sister! #7737751

Laura E. Swan level-classic July 14, 2009

Well, Sis, I did let him slide...HA! He could have EASILY been run over however. Not a smart move!

Tammy, you need a PA system like the police had in their cars. It's much easier on your vocal cords! My brother used to have one except he used his to flirt with girls!

* * *

Brother Rolan! YOU? BREAKING THE LAW? I can't even imagine this! No...I am not an officer. Just a humble reporter. This young boy appeared to be skipping and so happy. And yet...so close to death. A lesson to be learned here perhaps?

There's absolutely no hiding ANYWHERE with Laura around. I just want you to know that. Laura sees EVERYTHING.
We may even have to split for a while and go underground (nerveous laughter...).

Hi Renata! You know I took this shot from my car. I was driving while he was running! It was his lucky day! Truly!

Amanda...I hadn't thought of that. :) After all, he does have his hands in his pockets! Humm...gotta get out my body language book and see if you are right. distinct possibility! :D

*

Hi Maxy! You know, no one has mentioned this yet but I love how I also got the yellow light in here, too! It would have been blinking "DON'T WALK" pretty good at that point!!! (OR EVEN SOLID!!!) Nutty pedestrians! He was lucky I wasn't speeding up to run it.

Next time if I don't have my camera to distract me...well...!
