Still trying to figure this out

As is often times the natural state of rest in the City of Atlanta, I was sitting in some catastrophic traffic, and I noticed this on the minivan in front of me.  Now I think I’m pretty open-minded about the construction of family units, and I have no qualms with a mom and dad, two moms or two dads, or whatever; as long as any kids aren’t raised to become shitheads, if it works, it works.

However, it doesn’t mean I’m not going to question something if it seems unorthodox to me; like a family decal that appears to look like two dads, a mom, three children and one poop emoji with arms and legs.  Now the poop emoji might just possibly be a baby, as indicative by the baby on board placard, but I’m admittedly puzzled by the presence of three parents.  Hey, if it works, it works, but it’s still out of the ordinary by traditional standards.

Like, are they polygamists?  Swingers?  I mean, in some way all polygamists are kind of swingers.  I guess there are just more questions than anything else for me, like if there are four kids in the equation, like, are they all from the decal-ed mom?  All from one of the dads?  Or a mixture of fathers?  I’m okay with the idea of it, but it does make me cringe a little bit to think of the four kids being like two from one dad, two from the other; this, I cannot help, because I don’t imagine I would like sharing my spouse, much less for procreation purposes, but, if it works for them, it works.

Either way, I’m not necessarily sure advertising a polygamist family unit is the best idea to do in the state of Georgia.  I don’t care to research out the answer, and I don’t want the query of polygamy laws in Georgia showing up in my search history, but I’ve watched enough My Five Wives on TLC to know that polygamy is typically not the social norm and not necessarily deemed acceptable in many places in the United States.

Ultimately, it’s probably a decal to identify an adult son or something, but even that begs the question of just how fucking young mom was when she got knocked up, to where she could now have an adult son, as well as birth out a poo emoji in the current.  But it’s more entertaining to imagine that they’re polygamists or swingers, especially when you’re sitting in mind-numbing Atlanta traffic.
