My granddaughter finally got to see Cinderella in Disneyland. We almost didn't make it, though. There was a stroller pileup outside Critter Country.

Seems a triple-wide tried to pass a tandem rig on the right and cut off a double-decker. Formula, diapers and juice boxes were all over the place. Purple-faced drivers were going for each other's hair.

The proper thing to do would have been to stop and help sort things out. But it was our third day at Disneyland and stroller rage didn't impress us anymore. We got past on the shoulder.

I'm not sure when baby strollers became high-occupancy vehicles. I do know they don't work well in crowds, not that this stops sock-your moms from trying. At Disneyland, it was worth your life to stop short in front of one.



Much more at the link....

too too funny, daughter is expecting #2 and looking at strollers , Disneyland trips have come up in the search for the perfect stroller and or strollers ( as in one baby per adult!) Shame on me for bringing my children up in a world with only a 3 bead abacus for entertainment.

Robert Kirby is the humor columnist here in Salt Lake. He's a pretty funny guy, keeps us laughing about the Mormon culture here as well.

Robert Kirby lives in my neighborhood and I can see now I've avoided meeting him for too long! Sounds like my kind of guy!

My favorite line in the article:
Onboard baby buggy technology in those days was three colored beads strung on a wire, an abacus so simple it was insulting even to toddlers.
