Slow Children

Driving the RV along on red roads, one drives through a small town now and then.

("Red road" being paved highways, 2-lane, less trafficked than freeways or expressways. On our maps, these 2-lane highways are drawn with a red color.)

A certain sign seems to have taken a hold of the local governments' imagination. I see it in lots of towns.

It's a rectangular sign, yellow/orangeish background, with the word "Slow," then a silhouette of a long-legged child running, with large strides. Below that is the word "Children."

I think they should change the silhouette. That running child doesn't look very slow to me. A silhouette of a child just shuffling along would be more appropriate. Or change the wording on the sign to "Fast Children."
