Those Weird Family Car Stickers

Yes, it's an exaggeration, but it proves that I can't be the only one who feels this way.
     My friends and I have a huge issue with these stick-ons.  First off, what is their intended function?  If they are meant to make the vehicle stick out thereby avoid that post-soccer match confusion, it seems these families have made the same mistake as the pioneers of the lower back tattoo—you would be hard-pressed to find a minivan without these “fun” family rosters nowadays.  I’ve considered adding extra baby stickers to some of these windows in hopes of starting an interesting conversation between the family members.
     All joking aside, the real issue with these stickers is the amount of information they reveal about the drivers.  There are some bad people out there looking to follow people home!  Don’t make it that easy for them.  There has to be another way to celebrate your family that doesn’t involve letting every stranger with bad intentions know exactly how many people live in your house including genders and approximate ages.  Go to Sears and get some Christmas Cards made!  Just remember that you can never be too careful.
