   @ Liam

   Taking pictures while driving??? Tsk tsk.

   Perhaps you completely misinterpreted this license plate — perhaps the “LV” is not “love,” but rather “leave” and this person is begging DCFS (child protective services) to find the children….

   @ Conall -

   Why do you assume that I took the photo?

   @ Meaghan -

   Huh … hadn’t considered that before. That would not only be weird, but also frightening.

   What’s so weird?: that the driver made an “outward facing statement confirming – indeed, broadcasting – the love the driver has for his or her own children” – or that he (or she) chose to do so by means of a vanity plate?

   Well, I think it’s sweet (but then again, maybe I’m just being jolly and kind).

   One could interpret the plate to say “Live, My Kids!”

   Perhaps this person thinks of themselves as a motherly or fatherly figure speaking to the world.

   Some other license plates that I have noticed in the past -
   Hummer saying “MASSIVE”
   Hummer saying “LANEHOG”
   LAMBORGHINI saying “RICHAMI”… a bit arrogant I would say…

   In the current world where we can reach another person in so many ways this person has found yet another medium to share the love. Perhaps they caravan a lot in this family.

   Holla.

   perhaps it has nothing to do with children….i think this may just be a big fan of Keds!

   Maybe it was a gift from the kids to the driver, and the plates were just the card that came with the gift.

   @ Michelle – Well, I did confess that I might be have been reacting in a harsh way …

   @ Steve – So, a Carpe diem sort of call to action issued to the children? Could well be, but I certainly wouldn’t want that particular mum or dad for a parent. I bet they make the children do jumping jacks (star jumps) first thing in the morning to get fit.

   @ Mark – That would be too cool! I’d love to get a pair of Keds. My favourite shoes on that website are the green ones.

   @ Maire – Then wouldn’t it have been ‘LV YR KDS’?

9. Maire on January 9th, 2009 7:34 pm

   True, but LV YR KDS may sound too much like a command to readers to love their own kids. The owner may have wanted the world to know that the car was a gift from his/her kids.

   That being said, I like Mark’s answer the best.

    i admit it was not my car.

11. Meaghan on January 9th, 2009 11:48 pm

    @ Mom—is that a hint that you may not love your kids????

12. Tazeen on January 11th, 2009 6:29 pm

    I think its the second. The driver needed to reminders: Love my kids or wife will throw me out.
