It was just after midnight when Texas bus driver Mike Hubbard, during his usual route through San Antonio, saw something moving in the road up ahead.
Believing it was a critter, Hubbard slowed the bus down. As he approached the moving figure in the middle of the road he realized that it wasn't a dog or a cat or a opossum or a tarsier, but a far more sinister creature, a baby.
"I couldn't tell if he was eating something or not. But, his eyes got real big when he saw the big old bus in front of him," Hubbard told Texas news station WOAI-TV.
Hubbard slammed on the breaks and stopped just inches in front of the befuddled babe.
Then, out of nowhere, the father appeared. He grabbed the tot off the blacktop, and with nary a word, returned to the cover of darkness.
This scene, which was captured by the bus' on board camera, is disheartening, disconcerting, and disgusting. It underscores a major problem in our society. The irresponsible act is both a pocks on humanity and a sign of the depravity to which we have sunk.
That's because allowing small children to roam freely onto our roads and streets is the perfect recipe for traffic jams.
We all have important places to go, we all are in a rush, we don't need babies in the road slowing us down.
I can't get from point A to point B if I have to dodge someone's half naked baby
I can't go fast in my Viper dodging babies wearing diapers.
Hopefully local law enforcement cited the baby's parents (and the baby for that matter) for their inconsiderate behavior towards our country's infrastructure.
Bottom line, nothing slows down a commute like a baby in the roadway.
