Just heard a news alert about a woman who was nursing her baby while talking on the phone while driving. She was charged with child endangerment. Her response: I couldn't let the child go hungry. Ummm, now I'm not the smartest woman on the planet, but I'd opt for PULLING OVER!!!!!
Update: Here's the story. Otherwise, I am in paper hell. Catch you on the other side.

MILP Roundup #87
Welcome to the MILP (Moms in the Legal Practice) Roundup #87. This week is the alphabet soup version of the roundup. As it turns out, we don't quite have 26 MILPs, so I'm missing a few letters. I've left the missing letters in the alphabet, so maybe my readers can nominate some good posts to fill in the blanks. In the meantime, for the next week or so I'll be at my parents' house, where internet is scarce and free time is even scarcer, so you may not hear from me for a while. Have fun while I'm away!

That is completely insane!! I'm all for mothers' rights but that mother is freaking stupid. She would have killed her baby if one of the other stupid drivers out there had hit her and the airbag had deployed. Grrr.
ReplyDeleteOh, I read that, too. On the one hand, I kind of admire her for being able to do all of that at once. But on the other hand, WTF!?!?!?
