Or forgot how to drive. I was trying to cross a not-very-busy 25 MPH street with my 2 year old yesterday to get to a playground and by the 4th car that didn't stop at the incredibly clearly marked crosswalk, I went on an obscenity laden outburst that probably wasn't wise insofar as, like I said, I was hold the hand of a 2 year old. When we we returning home, he starting swearing while we were crossing the same crosswalk, because I'm not that good at parenting. People are reckless. I'm pretty sure they were reckless before covid, too, but I'm not ready to blame the pedestrians.
