Baby On Board


Dear Good Sir, Dear Kind Lady;
Dear keen driver, Dear neat chauffeur;

Hi,
How are you?
I?
I am the guy on your rearview mirror. Yeah, the one who rolls his eyes or violently shakes his head in a disapproving manner.
Don't worry, it's not just about you. It's everyday me... with your kind around.

When i see you from my regular point of view, say uh... driver seat, I find my attention risen and all my sensory receptors alert. Why?
Because you tell me to do so.

Really.
Its that triangular warning sign you put on your rear window saying "Baby on Board" or "Baby in Car" or worse "Princess in Car" and so...

Oh, no! I'm not mistaking you for someone else, like those "Arabada Bebek Var" people... It's just silly. That can't be you. We all know that you had been raised by British Au Pairs and developed an intellectually high level of mindset. We know that your foundation is so westerly that your parents gave you a middle name in ancient Greek and sang lullabies in Renaissance Latin. Pardon me sir/madam.
It's folie.

And hey! Can you just tell me what they are thinking? Please!
We all live in Europe. Putting your baby signs in Turkish?? That must be the definition of 'Crazy' in dictionary. Huh!?
You see, I don't understand those people who insist on keeping those Turkish Signs. Yes, It's Turkey we live in, but... We are not a third world country any more. Everyone is well educated and everyone can read and write in English... Even better than their Turkish!
So? What's the point of keeping those signs in Turkish? Are they trying to prove something? Or do they really hate their kids? Are they waiting to someone rear-end them and threaten the lives of innocent kids. (Although i believe that they will raise those kids as uneducated and avant garde as themselves. The State should take those kids into foster care.)

Yes. I just want to thank you for being there... Without you, mockery wouldn't be this much desperate and proud.

Take Care, drive safe...
