I'm here at the beach house cooking up some chili and I thought I'd share this lovely story with you. These were not my SCs, but they were annoying. A woman had her two little children with her at the grocery store. I'd say the girls were about 8 and 10. They were terrible. The two girls kept knocking over displays. They destroyed and entire end cap of spices. Then I saw them in the soda isle, shaking every bottle of carbonated liquid they could get their hands on. What does their mom do? She laughs. Then I came around the corner and caught the girls pulling stuff out of my cart. I politely told them "hey girls, I think you have the wrong cart. Do you need help finding yours?" Their mother saw me and screamed at me because I was "yelling at her babies."
Now I'm in the bread isle picking out rolls for a bbq tomorrow, and here come the girls tearing around the corner with an empty cart. They knock over a stand of berger cookies (best cookies in the world btw), almost hit a woman, and finally crash their cart into the deli counter. I can only assume they stole the cart from someone since all the empty carts are kept outside. The deli guy says "Why don't you let me put that away" and the mother screams "How dare you, my girls are shopping."
You know how when you have a full cart it's fun to push the cart and then hop up on back of it. Well these girls were jumping up like that on an empty cart. I don't care that they're small, it's not going to hold them both. I tell their mother "I don't think they should be doing that." She shoots me the nastiest face and BOOM! The entire cart flips over on top of both girls. They slam down on the ground and start screaming. I don't like it when children get hurt, but these girls kinda deserved it. Then their mother started screaming. She called an ambulance and then threatened to sue the grocery store and how dare they put out such dangerous carts. Um, excuse me, but any sensible person knows what happens when you try to ride like that on an empty cart. There are warning stickers right there on the cart to inform customers.
Yup, I'm sensing some future SCs.

I would love to see that deposition.
! I feel sorry for them because it's not their fault, it's that terrible mother who lets them do whatever they want regardless of how unsafe it is. It's her job to teach them personal safety and responsibility and she is doing nothing of the sort. You're right, those children will probably grow up to be just like her. Yaaay ^^; Too bad we can't spay and neuter SC's as well....
