THEY DONT MEAN ME , JUST EVERYBODY ELSE SURELY ....


You’re running a little late, the kids took forever getting washed and dressed and now it’s a game of beat the clock on the school run.
They have to be in by 8.45 to stop that late mark going down in the register then you’ll have to burn some rubber to be sure that you’re ready to clock in at the right time.
You read the letter asking politely for  parents to be a bit more considerate with their parking ,  pointing out that dropping off as you stop on the zig zag lines at the school crossing was very dangerous and agreed that people like that were very selfish  and should know better ....but this is extenuating circumstances , surely the lollipop lady would understand if you did it just this once to save yourself a bit of time .
However those precious saved seconds aren’t going to be much use to you if your child doesn’t see the car pulling out behind them and ends up in casualty , are they ?
