At first I thought it was a joke - someone vandalized the sign. But as I got closer I realized it was truly what I suspected I saw. Really? Should we really be encouraging people to bring their ill children to the store to contaminate the shopping carts and spread the fun? And then, do we want to know who they are? Watching them park, get out of the car, and walk in with contagious hanging over them like the cloud that follows Snoopy's buddy Pig-Pen around.
I know people have to take their sick children to the store from time to time. I'm sure I'll discover this myself in the near future, but I will first do everything I can to make arrangements to leave them home for their sake, my sake, and the sake of every other germ-fearing customer. And if I do have to take them, I'm not parking in that spot for all to know. Thanks for the gesture, but I'll pass. (And when I someday eat my words on this, I'll post about how in a moment of desperation I used the blasted parking space)
