Tongue Out of Cheek


When I was a kid you would often see kids hanging out the windows of moving cars. We’ve come a long way and now we are very (rightly) protective of kids in moving cars. There are seat belts now and new, safer designs of infant car seats every year. And these seats are complicated. Motor Trend Magazine says it takes an average of 12 minutes to get a child strapped into a car. And you can’t sell an old infant car seat at a garage sale ‘cause the safety standards get updated and the old seat’s obsolete. So yeah, we’re rightly protective of our kids in cars. Meanwhile, we let our dogs hang out the car's windows with their tongues out. Where is the concern, America, about these dogs hanging out the windows?

The tongue thing is more of a manners issue that can be dealt with separately.
