Death by Cell Phone in a Baby Buggy

I’m walking behind this woman who is pushing a baby buggy very purposefully. I notice these things more because we have a new baby and I am often pushing my little one around…while I can. Give the little tike a couple of years and I’m sure she’ll start pushing her old man, very old man around.

The woman in front of me was heading for an intersection. She was on the sidewalk but the light was clearly red and there were cars coming from the right and left. Not to be deterred from her mission in life at the moment, she pushed the baby buggy into the street, the car came to a halt sparing the baby and the woman walked on oblivious to what was going on around her.

She made a right turn after reaching the opposite sidewalk and it was then I learned her ‘mission.’

The knuckleheaded woman was on a cell phone. She never broke stride, nearly killed her infant, and didn’t even know it. Still doesn’t.
