How often do you forget your child in the car?

You know that. Summer heat, you're driving around in the car... "Oooh, look, there are special offers / delicious ice cream / free Mimikama shirts!" You can forget something important in the car.

We received inquiries about this meme , which sounds so unbelievable that you don't want to believe it:

“An American television station recommended putting something important in the back seat so you don't forget your children in a hot car.
Something important!!"

We would have liked to have exposed this statement as a hoax, but:

Children are a bit like Tamagotchis (maybe you remember them?). They beep when they want something. You feed them, clean them, put them to bed... and at some point it just becomes annoying. Children may express their problems in a little more complex ways, like “I'M HUNGRY!” or “GIVE ME A PIGGY BACK!” or “MY ROOM'S ON FIRE!”, but at some point you just hear a “BEEEEEEP” and ignore it.

This must also have been the reason why the car manufacturer GMC in the USA is installing a “ Rear Seat Reminder ” in its new models, literally especially for parents, to remind them to look at the back seat again before getting out. However, we doubt its effectiveness, after all it only beeps.

So how can you avoid forgetting children, those strange short-legged people who usually live in the same household and are constantly annoying you, in the back seat? Okay, you could teach them phrases like "Hey, don't forget me!", but honestly, any parrot could say that without knowing what they're saying. You could also love them so much that you don't want to miss them, but that would be asking a little too much!

It's a good thing that there are TV channels like ABC News in the USA, because they actually give the ultimate advice in their article " Preventing Tragedy: Tips to protect yourself against ever leaving your child in a hot car ":

“Leave a purse or important item you will need in the backseat (something like your phone, a purse, or even a shoe)”

in German:

“Put their wallet or anything else important they need in the back seat (like their phone, purse, or even a shoe).”

We understood!

What's more important than a diaper poo? The cell phone , the handbag and shoes ! You can be seen without a child, but without a cell phone? PLEASE? This is essential for survival !!!

So next time you're driving, remember that your... Poop birds Children may want to accompany you when you get out. And simply leaving a window open doesn't help!

Give it a try! Kids can be almost as entertaining as a cell phone. Or a shoe.

By the way…

If you didn't understand the irony of this text: This idea of ​​suggesting an important item in the back seat actually assumes that the child traveling with you could be a less important item in the car.

That's really bitter.
