I was in Logan today and we had some extra time to kill while we were out, so we stopped by Best Buy. As I was walking in I saw this sign. Kinder Parking, a parking space reserved for expecting mothers and parents with toddlers. Ok first of all, how many expecting mothers do they get in this store to actually merit a parking spot designated specifically for them? Also this is an electronics store in Logan, UT not freakin' Walmart, is two spaces closer going to really make a difference? A mother is starting to have labor pains so she runs to her car and is not going to be thinking "damn I wish I had a spot reserved two spots closer." Along with that, woman if you are going into labor the last thing you need to be doing is recklessly driving to the hospital. Just stay there and call 911. You don't know how fast that baby is going to come, better to call the EMT's who are trained to deliver babies in an emergency than to have some stranger on the side of the road who watched a baby delivery in health class. Do your baby a favor and stay put. Parents with toddlers, its not like you're going to need to whip out a stroller to walk into the store. You don't need a spot two spaces closer at Best Buy. But since you already have them why not have spots for people with a history of heart attacks or strokes. Makes just as much sense to me as having them for expecting women.

Hey- I have to say that there were many a time while I was pregnant that I wished there was parking space for expectant mothers. Because lazy people don't think about others and everyone fights for parking spaces, a lot of times I ended up parking way out in the middle of the boonies to go into stores causing contractions to happen, not to mention carrying 25-40 extra pounds in your gut is not as easy as it looks. I say good job to Best Buy for thinking of the those who should have handicapped parking but can't because their disability is only temporary...oh yeah and that disability is carrying parasites that take and take from their hosts until they come out and become lazy people that don't want to park 2 spaces farther. I think it's nice courtesy to women who do hard work. --Love you brother.
