Why, oh why weren't there helicopter parents up their butts?

What I'm saying, Drax, is that these are very young folks, in the street, playing (not paying attention to cars), in a neighborhood where I've seen speeding cars, pick up trucks, dirt bikes (love when they drive those bikes in the vacant lots next to my house). I saw tiny tots on scooters going through the street.
I know what you mean about helicopter parents (although not sure what you mean about "up their butts", you sicko).
I loved this morning when I drove down a street and about 5 kids about 8 years old ran out and blocked my car, waving some kind of plastic toys at me, and THEY WOULDN'T MOVE! If I had done that as a kid my parents would have allowed the driver to run me the frick over!
Helicopter parents are the ones who don't allow their kids to get anything else but an A in school, make the team, get a trophy, gold star for just trying etc. You totally misinterpreted my post. Parents who watch over their kids when playing in the street, who make them move when a car comes, those aren't helicopter parents, they're smart, caring parents who don't want their kids to wind up in the ER.
