I wrote this because of this. http://www.ubersite.com/m/64422
Thorpe, here is some content. I apologize for all the shit.
==============================================================
Amanda pressed the accelerator into the carpet of the cherry red Explorer. That awful Britney Spears tune, the one with Tyson what's his name, the sexy black guy, came pouring out of the upgraded speakers Manda's mother had bought with the vehicle. As she cruised Highland Avenue, she stuck with the disgusting noise. Perhaps she will get a chance to change this vile filth at the next intersection. Manda thought that there might be some Dave Matthews on the 90's station, but you never know in this Mass. traffic. Anything could happen.
Tia Brundage had pulled into the furthest space from the Shaw's Supermarket. Tampax, water, and toilet paper. Tampax, water, and toilet paper. Tampax, water, and toilet paper. The only thing this young mother had on her mind was to purchase the items she so desperately needed, (I think no woman would disagree) and to get her baby home so she could tend to his care. In the store to the feminine hygiene aisle, pick up some tissue on the way and over to the last aisle to pick up water. This is what she needed to get through her day. The husband was at work, no one else to help her, just getting through the monotony of childrearing. Just her and her little Shamus, figuring out the world as they went along.
Manda pulled up to Trader's Way. The cross traffic was easily going 30-40 miles per hour on this side street, even with the new signs posted. This is disgusting, this traffic. Someone could get hurt, even killed by these incognizant motorists. Manda leaned in toward the console to find relief from this racket.
Tia had finally purchased her items from the grocery store. Funny how having a child can lengthen your day. "Can I have this? Can I have that?' Tia had had enough with the whole situation, and pulled the child out to the car with the groceries. "Shamus, can you behave for a minute while Mommy puts the stuff in the car? The wily 4 year old eyes his mother, looking for a way to get over on her. "Yes mommy." "Oh that's good love. Now play over there while I take care of this and then we can go home to watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, like ya do." Tia looked at her son, sitting on the grass next to her leg. He'll be fine for a minute, just let me get these three things into the trunk.
Before Manda stepped on the gas pedal to cross the intersection into the parking lot of the grocery store, she glanced quickly right and left. Cars were traveling both ways on the main road, speeding along at approximately 40 miles per hour. As Manda settled back to look for some acceptable tunes, knowing it could be a while at the intersection of Highland and Trader's Way, her eye caught something out of the ordinary.
A child, two steps into running across Trader on Highland, vehicles gunning for him on both sides.
Manda didn't have time to look, no time to think about the possible consequences about the action she was about to take, she just did what her brain was screaming at her to do. Manda stepped on the gas, sending her mother's prized possession into the intersection.
After all, what's easier to see-- a 3 year old kid dressed in neutral colors or a big ass candy apple red SUV?
People from both sides slammed on their brakes, Vehicles stopping inches from striking the Explorer on the driver's side; the end of a heroine's life. Cars were honking their horns, oblivious to what the hell just happened, and the frustrated drivers marveled at Manda's antics.
The driver's door was thrust wide open, Manda streaming from the momentary safety of the SUV, dangerous amounts of adrenalin coursing through her veins. She rushed over to the toddler, scooped him up, and then crossed the road with him in her arms. The annoyance ceased--the other drivers finally understood why she did what she did. The poor chap would have been a goner for sure, had Manda not stepped in to save this child's life.
Amanda was so angry and stressed that tears began streaming down her cheeks; the mother was nowhere to be seen. Finally an image really, a woman crying in the near distance, here she was, standing in front of her expensive-looking car, gaping at Manda as she carried her child over to her.
Tia looked on in disbelief. Shamus was just placed on the ground not four seconds before he ran off into the street. "Shamus!" she called, but to no avail. Her child had a mind of his own, and when he focused on something, anything, and nothing could stop him from getting what he wanted. "Shamus!" she cried, as the cherry red Explorer darted out into the busy intersection, seeming to be aiming for her child. "Noooo! Shamus!!!"
When Manda got to her, and the kid reached out for his mother, and it was then that the mother finally came to her senses.
"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!!" Whether she was apologizing to the kid, to God, or to her, Manda couldn't tell through her tears. The mother took her son into her arms, cradling him so close that any closer and she could have been smothering him. Manda shook her head, trying to regain her own senses, as cars started honking in the intersection again, since she left her mother's Explorer just sitting there.
"What the hell were you thinking, woman??" It was a simple enough question; after all, she should have been looking after her kid so close to a busy intersection. Manda feigned her piety, simply enough as she had no experience in the world, driving her mother's vehicle, judging others lest she be judged.
Finally, Tia addressed Manda directly. "I was letting him play in the grass! I didn't think he'd run away like that! I only had my back turned to him for a second while I put the groceries away!"
It was Manda's turn to gape at Tia in disbelief.
"You FUCKING LET YOUR KID PLAY NEAR A BUSY INTERSECTION?!!?!? What the goddamn fucking hell were you thinking?!?!?!" Manda was screaming at her. It was common sense NOT to let them do stuff like that, and in her infinite wisdom, she decided than and there that she knew everything there was to know about this woman and child, and had the right to deal out her wrath. "What kind of mother are you? You should be brought up on charges of abuse you bitch!"
Tia stared at this slight girl slack jawed. Who was she to question her motherhood, being barely out of diapers herself? Yes, the little devil child Shamus had gotten loose once again, but he would never be harmed. Why was this teenager yelling at her so passionately? It didn't matter if she performed a completely stupid maneuver that luckily didn't harm the child; she still had no right to yell and scream at her. Tia moved in for the retaliation.
Manda decided that she needed to get away from Tia right then, or else there'd end up being a brawl in the Shaw's parking lot. Amanda turned and walked back to her mother's sacrifice, got in, and drove away, shaking from so many emotions. It took her an hour to calm down, but it was worth it. Amanda felt she had saved a child's life today, and that she had taught a stupid woman a lesson.
Tia fell asleep later that day, thinking about the stupid girl who was so full of her own pride, that she failed to realize that real people raised real people, and that not everyone was as blessed as she to have things handed down to her. Tia had earned everything she had in this world, and it was not the place of some snotty teenager to tell her who she was.

I think the kid and the mom are dumb. If you're crossing a busy intersection, you may know you're a pedestrian, but you don't just waltz out in the middle of traffic looking ahead like there's a naked chick beckoning you to her. It doesn't matter if there are laws; accidents still happen, the kid was a dumbass for thinking he was invincible, and the mother was a dumbass for not watching her kid around a busy intersection. In the living room or kitchen? Maybe check on him once in a while. But if you're near the road, you keep watching the little fucker.
Though I suppose stupidity could be inherent; that would explain a lot about the two.

Lovely.
It kinda makes me wonder what other posts I've missed.
I left a comment on mine for you, Rad, but I'll leave it here too. The mother wasn't young at all. She had two older kids in the car, which is amazing that they survived with an idiot like that for a mother.
Anyway, stay well.

On a side note, do you remember when Mandy Moore used to be hot?

Judging from this picture, I can guess that it was long before I was born. You know... never.
