Oh Barbara, I did one like this a long time ago Not the same words of course, but that same idea. I really like yours!! Today I did traffic school and all they talked about was wearing seat belts and not texting. Geez, the two things I DON'T do. I don't even know HOW to text, and still I got a damn ticket.
