WORST IDEA 8/15/10: Taking your toddler for a motorcylce ride

Driving back from New Hampshire, Celine and I were treated to the site of a helmetless woman on a motorcycle with a child behind her who could not have been more than 4. This seems like a bad idea under any circumstances but an even worse one on a crowded highway with rain threatening. At least the child was wearing a helmet, so, hopefully, he or she will survive the crash and get a chance at a better parent through adoption.
