Like father, like daughter

My mom took the boys for an overnight last weekend, so after I got back from my trip to SF, it was just Bonnie, Emme and me. I decided to take it easy and take us out for dinner. Emme's tastes tend to run to the exotic so we all agreed on Asian, and I decided to try a place in Hyannis I hadn't been before.

Parking was a bit of a chore, so I circled around for a bit before I found a spot and was stuck at a light. On the corner was a crowd of pedestrians who, at first glance, seemed to be waiting for the light to change.

In a fit of collective ignorance, they all decided to cross the street against the light, when the "Don't Walk" sign was clearly visible in their direction, including a couple pushing a toddler in a stroller. I realized what they were doing and stomped on the brakes to avoid killing anyone.

"That's what happens when you don't pay attention to signs," Bonnie warned.

Emmeline and I, perfectly on cue: "No, that's what happens when you're stupid."
