Ducktales

We saw a line of ducks crossing as we drove thru the back roads on our way home. My dad just barely missed the family of the ducks and you can see them hurried to the center dividers. However, i am so worried about them as they have to cross the other side with cars going in the other direction. I sure hope that they make it across safely. If i were alone, i might just stop my car and help stop the cars for the ducks, but since i was with my parents, they will tell me that i am stupid. :( I just can't help being worried about their fate. They actually looked pretty cute while crossing, but i cant imagine what might happen to them. What if the cars cant see them? This whole family might be killed! What about if the car only hit the mother (?) in front? Those little ducks (about 5-6 of them) will become orphans. :( And what if it only hits the ones at the end of the line? I am sure the mother will be very upset as she was trying to protect them all the way. :( Meanwhile, with that new back roads we have around our house, i wonder if we as human beings have invaded their space and forced them out of their habitant. :( Humans are quite bad aren't they? Ok am I just thinking too much?
