I get it. We adore our children. We think they are the cutest beings that have ever walked the face of the earth and we wish to capture every bit of cuteness and share it with the world. Surely, if we share every moment of these remarkable creatures we created with everyone we possibly can – they too will see just how wonderful our small spawns are – right?
Ok, perhaps that was a bit over the top. But you get my drift. We love our kids.
I have no doubt that this mother loves?her children. She carefully kept them in safety seats, even beyond the age most states require by law. They are buckled up and are happily singing in the backseat.
But, she made a very serious mistake. She drove distracted. She used her phone to capture one of life’s moments that simply didn’t need to be captured at that very moment ? her kids singing. She ended up capturing another pivotal moment also – a car accident.
Put the phones down, friends. I’m sure we all have had moments of temptation on the road. Let this serve as a reminder ? it can wait.
It’s important to note that the video does tell us that no one was hurt in this video. I’ve been unable to verify that as fact, but I’m going to give the benefit of the doubt here.
Watch the video below.
