Yesterday, I went to the grocery store.

A mom and dad were there with their two little boys. The boys started running around the grocery store and making noise. The dad, gently but firmly, told them to settle down. They did.

That is all.

1. What's wrong with you? You mean you didn't get into a debate

with the mom and dad about their ridiculous conservative ideas, or about how badly their kids were behaving?

3. No debate.

I will save my debating skills for the checkout line. Maybe someday I will have to put a teabagger or Rush listener in his place, and wow the whole store with my incomparable debating skills and superb command of facts. :evilgrin:

2. The parents are clearly too hard on those kids

I worry that their creative and wild side will be harmed. :sarcasm:

4. Post this in GD so I can rec it.

5. And you didn't call CPS?

You're every bit as much a monster as that father is, stifling the little dears' creativity and naturally energetic disposition like that! When they grow up to be responsible, well-adjusted adults, I hope you all can live with yourselves.
