Buckled Bears

   Wed, April 19, 2006 - 9:59 AM
Yesterday as my mom and I were walking to Chinatown to pick up some "China" shoes for my niece (she loves these shoes so much that she wore out her first pair within a few months), we walked past this somewhat obscure looking car. As I looked through the windows I noticed that there were two stuffed animals buckled in the backseat. I thought "how cute, some little kid must have done this to protect their toys". However, as I looked a little closer there really was no other signs or indication that a child regularly rides in this car. No car seat, no other toys, nor any crumbs or remnants of snacks. At this point, my thoughts turned from "cute" to "well, that's kind of weird". Additionally, there were a few odd animal objects in the back window that made me think this situation was even odder. But I don't know, perhaps this was the doings of a child. That's what I would like to believe anyways.

it would be really sweet if it was the work of a child, but you're right that if it was an adult, it would be a little freakish.

that's so wierd, but it also reminds me of back when the Bay Area first got carpool lanes, a man was arrested for having a dummy in the front seat of his Porsche so he could get to work faster!

UH....
Yes. Weird.

Although that's not even remotely close to some of the weirdo things I have seen people do to their cars.
LOL

Ha! I swear I have heard of similar stories to the one about the guy using a dummy to use the carpool lane.

Maybe it was some person that was just an aging child and still needs their Teddies to get through the day. Anything that will help you and doesn't hurt others is alright where I come from.
Weird? Maybe. That person might thing something that you do is outlandish, Hmm?
