It had been YEARS since I last saw one. These signs were a fad that peaked back in the mid-80s (I remember mom having one for my brother Dan when he was a baby, circa 1987). They also led to a host of humorous imitators (my favorite being "Mother-In-Law In Trunk"). I can't help but think of the Simpsons episode where Marge Simpson bought one hoping it would stop people "intentionally ramming our car."
"Baby On Board" always reminds me of the B Sharps song from the Simpsons.

I definitely had that song in my head when I wrote this post.
ReplyDeleteBaby on board, how i adore.
That sign on my car's windowpane
Bounce in my step
Loaded with pep
'Cause I'm drivin' in the carpool lane.
Call me a square
Friend, I don't care
That little yellow sign can't be ignored
I'm telling you it's mighty nice
Each trip's a trip to paradise
With my baby on board.
I'm thinking in June, when we get together, me, you, John, and Ben need to have a barbershop quartet.
Definitely. The Alcoholic Assholes.
