I need a “Man in My Car.”  No, I’m not looking for a creepy, stalker dude.

Do you remember the autopilot from the movie “Airplane?”  I need a slightly more realistic automan to keep in my car for when I’m out with the kids running errands.  It would be great to push a button on my glove compartment and suddenly a blow up man appeared to be sitting in the front seat of my car while the 2 little ones hang tight in the back seat.  Then, I could run in and run out out of the store without getting arrested. 

I’m not a neglectful mom, or at least I try not to be, but lugging the kids around is tough.  It is especially difficult when you realize you are only going to be in a particular store for less than 5 minutes (picking up prescriptions, running in for milk, etc).  Getting both kids out of the car and into a store can take longer than 5 minutes!

With the state of our society, we really can’t leave our kids in the cars, but a “Man in My Car” is still a good idea in my book.
