Random Conversation with My Kid about Pedestrians















Shan and I were walking through the parking lot to get into the grocery store the other day. As we often do, we exchanged the same-old-same-old verbiage:

Shan: “Slow down.”

Me: “Hurry up.”

Shan: “Gah! You walk too fast.”

Me: “No, I’m old but you’re slow. What’s up with that?”

Or something to that effect…

This particular day, I was trying to encourage her to keep up with me, because as usual, I was in a hurry.

Me: “You see this whole ‘not getting hit by a car’ thing I’m doing? It’s because I am walking FAST.”

Shan: “You know that whole ‘yield to pedestrians’ thing? It’s the LAW in Johnston County.”

Me: “We’re in Harnett.”

Shan: “Oh! Crap!” (walks faster)
