Suspicious of Carpool?

How do you feel about carpool? School carpool. Like, instead of having pure chaos, everyone just line up your cars and the children will walk out when their parent pulls up. Does that upset you? Do you think there are any conspiracies involved with the concept? Does it make you angry that you are moving in mass to a common location with other parents?

I recently had a man say to me, "Nah... I don't buy that. I just don't buy carpool. I park and walk in to the school to get my kid." Huh?

I really didn't know what to say. It was like hearing suspicions about the government or global warming or the Adkins diet. You don't "buy" carpool? What's not to buy?

But this is what I enjoy. I thoroughly enjoy the odd, random things of life that give me pause, so bring it. Anyone else not buyin' something? How bout lunch meat? Easter eggs? Crane machines that dole out stuffed animals? Let's just get it all out in the open people!

how can you trust the carpool people... they have walkie-talkies; you know what that means, don't you? They're talking to the man, who of course is trying to keep me down!

Those silly car pool rules don't apply to me, they are so ment for other people. No one will mind if I just cut in line, I will just smile and wave. All those Mom's who have been sitting in line for 2hours in the blistering sun will totally not mind if I turn right here, instead of getting at the end of the line. And why would anyone mind if i get out of my car (just as the line starts to more) so that I can talk to Babs, in the car behind me. I just have to know what she is wearing to Tennis on tuesday! I mean really!!!

Oh... I so know what you mean! Carpoolers can be so testy when you want to be an independent thinker!
