Once a group of high school kids sped through the intersection and when she yelled to them they flipped her off- she casually lifted her sign so the innocent little ones waiting did not see and flipped off right back. That afternoon one of the kids who was in the car stopped to apologize!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295499795085860012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185095019490248004.post-28221548222032678532009-02-18T11:04:00.000-06:002009-02-18T11:04:00.000-06:00Rita was a MUCH better person than me, I would hav...Rita was a MUCH better person than me, I would have knocked (just a little nudge and a sorry) them off those bikes.
