For reasons you understand, I think what you did was very important.

My grandma said she never felt old until her children became senior citizens So, don’t sweat it.

Love the “mature and responsible” explanation – ha! I’ll have to remember that one.

it’s okay trey (patting you on the shoulder) i’m only 27 (and that’s what? half your age. . .ha ha ha!!!) and i already feel this way. . i think you get “old” as soon as you become a parent, you become the protector not the protected. you can remain proud of your little speech. . . you probably actually did save more than one life today even if you lost your pride in the process

As I was walking through the crosswalk at the local Wal-Mart yesterday, a gentleman (?) in a truck just kept easing through and I was thinking that he was going to hit someone so I ever so politely (NOT) asked through his open window) if he had ever heard that pedestrians have the right of way. I then spent the rest of the day wondering if I will sit by that guy in church or something! Being new to town, I don’t really know who I’m talking to so maybe I better start being a little sweeter!

I’m 32 and still a bit miffed about how, when I was 16, the grown brother of a friend told me to slow down when I was dropping off his brother.

He rode the school bus home for weeks after that.

Okay, you guys are making me feel better. So I’m not getting old, maybe I’m just getting more mature and responsible. (Don’t tell Lea about the “Mature & Responsible” stuff! Not sure her heart could take the laughter.)

Sharla … three is how I act at 3 in the morning.

Love the video – might have to copy your “speech” for our road. And I am only 25 + a few years.

A classmate of mine who live around the corner had a little brother killed on our street only a few houses down. THe poor driver wasn't even speeding according to numerous witnesses. The kid just darted out from between parked cars. He was on his knees on a skateboard.

Because of that (I was 13 at the time) I NEVER speed in a residential neighborhood. Once I was driving with my girlfriend (now wife) and I suddenly slammed on the brakes. Just before she could ask what was up a kid ran in front of my now stopped car. I never realized until that day that I watch under cars as I approach for little feet that maybe running across the street. Interesting how somethings stick with us even though we may not notice.

P.S. I think its cute you said "getting" old as if its just happening. Now go take a nap while us kids go out and play.

My father always made of point of slowing down once we entered our neighborhood. Later, when I was driving I realized I did the same thing, even though I like to go pretty fast on the highway. I even notice that I go slow in other neighborhoods, where it’s clear that there are going to be kids playing outside. And I’m 26 and single. I don’t know whether to thank or curse my father for setting that example. (Yeah, I know, the “right” answer is obvious.)

‘cept for one family, everyone on my street is old, so inform Mike that he doesn’t want to live the rest of his life carring the guilt of running one of us over either. we don’t move so fast anymore.

plus all that bone breaking… its an awful sound, yuck

Gee Trey, no wonder “Mike has been speeding down MY street now!” JK…

Isn’t amazing how our perspective changes when we become parents? It’s not uncool..It’s responsibility!

Trey be uncool? It will never happen!

No, I think you can still be a cool person who’s just looking out for the safety of his block. After all it’s not like you told him to slow down all the time when he’s driving, just on your street!

Glad you guys made it home safe from the game!

Some things are worth “getting old” about. The safety of children, including the young driver, would be one of those things. Being a fellow “old guy” I’m proud of you and would have wanted you to do the same with either of my children … and then tell me about it so I could take away the keys!
