Only Bad Parents Burn Their Children
Monday, June 16th, 2008Among the self-help and instructional material here on wafflesatnoon.com, there are moments when an angry commentary is appropriate. Like now.
One of the unfortunate aspects of living in Las Vegas is hearing stories of parents who accidentally leave their children in hot cars during the summer. I’ve heard one too many of these, so here is my take on the subject.
Even if you don’t live in the desert, try out this little test. Get into your car on a very hot day. Make sure the windows are up and there is no air flow. Now sit there. See if you can last one minute. I’ve done it, and after only seconds I feel an unbearable need to get out or start the car and put the air on.
