Have you noticed that fathers who are tending small children, tend to not hold their had when crossing a street or a parking lot?

Most moms do though….this is something I’ve been observing for several years. A male with a small child or two in tow will just walk into the street with the kids trailing behind, whereas a female will usually hold the kid’s hand. I almost hit a little kid in an icy parking lot once because dad wasn’t holding his hand and the kid took off running ahead. The kid saw my van at the last second and instead of stopping tried to dodge around in front of me. I hit my brakes but…it was icy and I couldn’t stop. The kid ended up running into the front quarter panel of my van….
