Tuck and roll, parents!
As the school year kicks into gear, the chaos of the drop-off line returns. It’s a daily test of patience where many seem to forget how to use their indicators. Thankfully, we have an insightful (and humorous) guide from a Texas mom, Angela Thompson, who has gone viral for her straightforward advice on navigating the carpool lane efficiently. Her TikTok video has amassed over 3 million views and sparked thousands of comments, offering hope for a smoother drop-off experience. Even celebrity mom Kristen Bell shared it on her Instagram, likely for a laugh or a plea for a more streamlined drop-off process.
In her viral video, Angela demonstrates the drop-off routine with her two sons, Ethan, 8, and Noah, 6, and kicks things off with a candid complaint: “I’m exhausted. We’re three weeks into school, and people still don’t get the drop-off line!” Then she lays out her five essential steps for a successful drop-off:
- Positioning is Key: Always place your kids on the passenger side of the vehicle. If you have multiple children, teach them to exit quickly with a slide or shuffle.
- Latch Training: Have your kids learn how to manage the latch. By the time you’re a few cars away from the drop-off point, they should be ready to jump out.
- Backpack Ready: Ensure they have their backpacks on while still in the car. It helps with posture and prepares them to exit promptly.
- Independent Exit: Stop getting out of the car to open doors for them! They should be capable of opening their own doors to speed things up.
- Yield, Don’t Stop: Remember, it’s a yield, not a stop! Maintain a slow speed and teach your kids to tuck and roll as they exit.
Imagine if every drop-off was as efficient as a well-rehearsed military operation. Angela, who has experienced drop-offs at three different schools, shared her frustration: “No matter when you arrive, it’s always slow. I feel anxious every morning. We have places to be!”
After her video gained attention, Angela received a call from the school principal—not for bad news, but because he wanted to share her video on the school’s Facebook page. Viewers chimed in with their own drop-off frustrations and strategies. One parent expressed, “Make sure to pull ALL the way up! You’re not on the red carpet, it’s just school!” Another added, “If you’re one of those moms who needs to do the extras (I am one), just park and walk.”
Perhaps that’s the best takeaway: if you can’t tuck and roll, park and walk.
