    How about it drivers? If kids wave at me and want to hear my airhorn, I happily oblige, after looking around to make sure I don't scare some jumpy Grandpa/Grandma or teenager off the road:thumbup:
    And for us guy drivers, if a pretty lady should happen to wave at you, do you honk back?:smt033

    Thank you for "honking" at the kids.

    When my husband and I were teaming, that was a given. It thrills them. Now that I'm off the truck, and the 7 year old and I are going to town..... he tries sooo hard to get a big truck to blow his air horn, and more times than not, they won't.

    I have more young adults trying to live the 'Oprah & Gail fantasy' and impress their friends that ask for it---then I usually dont! Hey, I'm NOT easy, ya know!!!
    But if the kids are 'cute' and not what is taken for cute these days (just plain obnoxious!)...and no one to bother around me....will do!!

    I honk for kids, and the pretty women(if the wife aint with). Plus I honk for those that cut me off, aren't paying attention, etc. and if I'm[​IMG]..........better end it now, otherwise I may get in trouble

    wow this takes me back. I remember in '80's when i was standing in my driveway, waiting for school bus, i would see rigs passing by, i would do my hand horn motion and the truckers would honk. Funny when they do that 7:00am, LOL

    when i become trucker, i would do that when kids asks, not a problem.
