Bébé à bord

car sticker – baby on board
I don’t have so much to say about this as I’m not sure where the concept for this sign originated. It’s only because we now have a car and drive almost every day that I notice more of these signs. I respect that people want you to be careful of their car since there is a baby inside, but shouldn’t we all be careful of each other’s cars regardless? I mean, it’s not as if you say to yourself, well I’ll be sure not to hit that car now that I know there’s a child in it. It should be a fairly instinctive sentiment to begin with. The funny thing about the word baby here though is that it’s masculine. So no matter whether your baby is a boy or a girl, when referring to it as the baby, it automatically becomes a he. So be especially careful when you see a car with that sign on it because it means he’s in there.
