Textin' Tot!

March 04, 2013

"Sheesh, these days everyone thinks they can text and drive safely. Redditor dibbiluncan pointed out this little lady, who has quite the jumpstart on the bad habit.

She's so engrossed in her phone convo (we imagine with her stuffed bear about the afternoon tea party) that she has yet to even realize that her car door is hanging open.

It just proves that it's never too early to sit down with your kids and give them a stern no-texting-and-driving-even-in-your-plastic-car talk. It could save lives, on the highway or in the kitchen.  ''

(Neha Prakash, Mashable's Watercooler Reporter)

At first glance, this is funny, cute, and ironic... but when you think about it, it's pretty scary! We're glad the reporter reminded readers of what a danger this behavior could become down the line. We love to post about being a good example to your kids when it comes to texting and driving, because we think it's one of the key tactics to preventing the distracted driving epidemic from getting even more out of control!
