Before I had even entertained the idea of being a mom, I recognized the power of the stroller! I would see someone pushing a stroller through the mall, going as slow or fast as they wanted and people kindly parted like the Red Sea! No one would ever give a dirty look to someone speeding past them with the stroller. No one would ever shout, "Move it!" to some one slowly pushing along their tot, as they block an entire store aisle. Very early in my pregnancy, it dawned on me that I would soon hold the "power of the stroller" very soon! The idea thrilled me!
Now that I have the "power of the stroller", I've noticed that most people respect the power and some do not! Most people kindly move aside to let the stroller pass by, some seem to resent the stroller and the idea of one going by faster than they are walking. I have honestly had people walking in front of me at the mall and as I go to pass them with the stroller, they will speed up and practically run me into a kiosk! Sometimes I want to shout, "Respect the power of the stroller!" Then, there is the time that I'm slowly moving along, trying to soothe my baby or wipe off her face. I've had people squeeze past and practically throw their elbow into my side and send me and my baby into the wall!
I know that most people respect the power of the stroller, but to those of you who do not: Respect the stroller because one day you may just be pushing one, or run over by one!
Until next time!! Respect the power of the stroller!
