Nothing pisses me off more than sitting down to a nice meal at a restaurant to the sound of screaming children. The same can be said for kids kicking my seat throughout a movie. Or children that think it’s their right (with the backing of their trollish-bow-wearing mother) to mock my bad habits.
This has nothing to do with kids - it has to do with manners and respect for your fellow person. I would never, ever bring our beagle-boys to an inappropriate place (and I know some of you will take offense to my equating children with canines, but get over it). I’ve seen spectacular displays of selfish disregard by both parents and children, in galleries and stores and just walking down the street.
It’s my view - if you can’t control yourself, and this goes for both the grown ups and kids - stay home and watch TV. If you can, come on out and enrich my life. I am always amused and smiling when children point out my oddities or ask honest questions (the ones their parents are terrified to ask). I think that the innocence and curiosity that I once possessed got lost in the fast-pace of being an adult. Kids bring that out in me, they really do.
I think “Behave or Begone” applies to everyone.
As for the rest of this beautiful, drizzle-soaked Monday, I have to work on timesheets and try to get my paperwork done.
Dear Bitches – get to work!
That will be all. I hope you all have a great morning (it’s amazing what Sudafed and a cup of coffee will do for my mood) and be careful in that rain!
