The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness.

A few things on this sign...

First of all, Leslie is the one who made sure I took a photo of it. She's good at noticing and encouraging and supporting my random photo initiatives.

Second of all, there aren't a lot of warning signs that include exclamation points. It really does make it a much bossier sign.

Finally, what are those kids doing?? Why is the one on the left flailing arms about? That seems dangerous. And what are they chasing? A ball? Doesn't this sign sort of say, "Share the road with kids who will chase the ball into the road and not look for traffic"?  I think that is poor education for kids who should not play ball or chase their ball into the road. 

Or maybe it isn't a ball. Maybe they are on an egg hunt. If so, they shouldn't hide eggs in the road. Or it could be a rolling quarter. If it's an old-timey quarter worth a lot of money, I get the enthusiastic flailing a little bit more than if that's not it. If it's a regular quarter then, sheesh. C'mon kids, it's just a quarter.

This sign is more confusing than it is helpful.
