Baby on Board

No! Before you all get excited, Jo is not having a baby....

driving to work yesterday i got stuck behind a flashy VW golf - all the extra, alloys, tinted windows, chrome finish all over the lights etc.
But what I could just about make out in the rear tinted window was one of those yellow "baby on board" signs.
This made me chuckle - at some point in the recent past, this young man had become a dad and all of a sudden been handed a whole heap of responsibly. (he could have chose not to take on such responsibility but being as the sign was there to warn any potential road-rage filled driver that a small innocent child was in the car, suggests that some of the responsibility has been embraced)
I imagine that this has meant a fair bit of growing up too - letting go a bit of the youthful ways and all that to be a dad.
its funny then to see this boy racer car whizzing down the a3 with a small indication of the change a-foot, from boy to man - from somebody's son to somebody's dad.
I wonder how long he keeps the car!

I guess that's a sign of the first stages of turning into your dad. I'm very much on my way there now - I have the grey hair for starters.

I should point out that I was paying full attention to the road while driving and in no way did I day dream my way to the office and arrive realising I had no idea what went on in the previous 10mins of driving! Anyone else have times like that?!
