Getting the legalities out of the way

Every time I run down to the store of head to the school to get the boys I pass this sign and every.single.time I pass this sign I wonder..What if..

What if I were to add a little post script to the sign? Something like this..

What if I just printed this handy, already made and saved on my desktop, sign and taped it up in the dark of the night. What kind of legal problems do I need to consider?

If some kid did get hit while the sign was up, would I face manslaughter charges? Child endangerment? And, the actual act of taping the home made addendum up, is that vandalism? Technically, nothing would be damaged…

If you have any insight, let me know, The urge to do this is over whelming, and coincidentally, I will be up at O’dark-thirty on Tuesday to drive my In Laws to the airport…

  1. Interesting questions. Since I’m not a lawyer, I can’t answer any of those questions.

    All I can say for sure is that it would be damn funny!

  6. Just wear gloves and a hat so you don’t leave fingerprints or hair behind.

    Also, don’t forget those kids that are so ill-behaved that you want to kill the parents.

  10. I think it’s totally legal. Wear gloves so you don’t leave any fingerprints behind. Just in case.

  15. I like the “Slow Children at Play” signs.
    The kids on the signs never wear helmets though.

  19. yeah, do it do it do it!!!!!! I love a good prank!
    My thought is, all those people have those stupid “baby on board” signs in their cars (or used to) and expected every one else to give THEM special treatment?! Basically because they got knocked up?!
    Enough with the “everybody watch out for my kid” attitude–watch out for your OWN kid!
    It doesn’t take a village–it takes a PARENT.
    okay, I’m off my soapbox now!

  21. I was going to say something about the Slow Children at Play signs - it’s not nice of the parents to point out that their child is different - but Metalmom beat me to it.

    I don’t know - after watching all the CSI episodes, I’m thinking they could trace the paper back to your printer or some BS like that.
