Rear Window Stickers

...here's my questions and thoughts on this topic....

Why do parents have stickers covering their rear window that tell the school their child attends, the sports that they play, AND their child(ren)'s name?! Being a parent myself, I still can't wrap my brain around this concept. I have a few ideas, but still can't seem to justify this crazy idea....

#1. Parents are just proud and need to shout it to every stranger they pass on the road.

#2. Parents pour so much time and money into their child(ren)'s extra curricular activities, that having this sticker on their car gives them the "right" to boast where their money is going.

#3. All the other parents are doing it.

#4. Their child(ren) run their household and "told" their parents to do it.

#5. Since these parents spend most of their time being spectators to these events, they become consumed with the idea that they too are obsessed with the events.

#6. Their child(ren) put these stickers on without the parents knowing it (again, the children run their household).

Amen.
