Don’t Trust Yourself

Last Sunday, my husband and I shuttled our kids to a playground, hoping to distract them long enough for us to read a paragraph of the newspaper. When we arrived, I was greeted by a woman holding a clipboard. “Are you here for the free car seat safety check?” she asked gleefully. I could already tell my husband was shooting me a look: Don’t you dare. My husband, who installed both of our kids’ car seats, is very handy and smart, so he wasn’t worried that he’d put them in incorrectly. He was worried this “free car seat safety check” would rob him of a half-hour and subject him to bureaucracy (recall there was a clipboard) and condescension, both of which he is allergic to.
