Sticky Family

We have evolved. The evolution I am referencing involves the varied car adornment to describe people’s family situation.
Remember the 80s–where people in boxy Volvos would stick that yellow diamond placard in their window cautioning others around them to drive more carefully because they have a “Baby on Board”?
Well, now people in rounded Volvos strategically place little replicas of themselves in the lower corner of their back window to emblematize their family. What says love more poignantly, than your family tree personified in skulls and crossbones? I don’t know, what do you guys think? Is this cute or incredibly lame?
You know that this is only happening in Orange County. And if you see a car with these stickers outside of Orange County, it’s because they are out of town.
My favorite is when they put the family member’s name under their respective sticker. So when ‘julie’ the sea turtle cuts me off in her toyota previa, I can pull beside her family and tell her husband ‘frank’ ( a slightly larger sea turtle) that his wife needs to learn how to drive. Such a rediculous trend.

I hate them. I know somebody who has her family on the back of her car and has labeled them “The Ass Family”. Her husband is named “Dumb”, she is named, “Fat”, her daughter is “Smart” etc. etc. They don’t drive that car to church.

So lame it makes me get a funny feeling in my stomach, I almost want to vomit. I stare at the stickers so long and try to imagine myself with 6 kids and then I wake up and smile!
