Is a parking lot age appropriate?

It's not like it happens daily. I certainly don't just open the front door and let my thirteen month daughter run amok. I mean, sure, once in a while when she's been bad I let her run unsupervised near the busy street, but more often than not I am there vigilantly watching as I trudge along, hands in my pockets.

The lady driving the tan Chevy Tahoe certainly didn't approve of my parenting style, what with trying to read the mail and watch Sofie at the same time. And maybe, in reading this post you might think I'm a little lax, especially since my daughter is currently filling our garbage can with water, but hey, those are YOUR standards you're projecting.

Besides, if your kid only napped for twenty minutes today, you might feel differently.
