Sometimes i'm so pleased I have pets not kids. I really don't know how some people cope.
Had a lady come in on the weekend with her 2 sons about 9 and 11. While I am helping her pick out some items the 9 year old picks up a bottle and promptly smashes it on the concrete floor. Broken glass and alcohol everywhere. Ok it was an accident, these things happen.
While she is telling him off and telling him to wait outside I'm saying it Ok, no big drama, I'll get it cleaned up after you've left. As I'm ringing up her purchase I look over the counter and here is the kid kneeling on the floor beside the mess dipping his fingers in it and tasting it. Off the floor, with shards of glass everywhere!
So I say 'Hey that's not a great idea. There's shards of glass in that'. Did he stop. No. I can only imagine what he must be like at home.
