Britney Spears was criticized this week when she was photographed driving her car while holding her infant son, Preston, in her lap. Her comment on it was "I made a mistake, so it is what it is, I guess." Huh?
You may recall that her excuse was because she wanted to leave the scene quickly as she was having a "horrifying, frightful encounter" at the time with paparazzi. However, it seems tha paparazzi came along at a time when she stopped at a local Starbucks with her bodyguard - let me say it again, with her bodyguard - and sent him inside to pick up beverages. While waiting, she took lil' Preston out of his seat and held him in her lap as she sat behind the steering wheel. As soon as the bodyguard came back to the car, she drove off to escape the cameras. With the baby in her lap. And the bodyguard hired to protect her. From things like paparazzi. Unfortunately, though, not from herself.
Anyhoo, it inspried me to create a new holy card for mothers like Britney, since we Catholics are big into sacramentals and whatnot. For your consideration . . . Our Lady of Vehicular Safety, Help of Infants.

I just can't believe the profound double-standard when it comes to celebrities and their children.
Had your average mother done this, she'd probably be facing fines, jail time, or the prospect of losing her child to the state for neglect.
But it seems money can make up for being an irresponsible parent.
Some days I can scarce believe Britney and I are contemporaries (I just turned 23). I seem so much older than her...
Clever card! I love your blog!
LOve the new holy card! You ARE a digital artist. Very clever.
