Working in a Customer Service based job, you get to see a lot of different types of people. I'm constantly amazed by the overwhelming stupidity found in this town(and others). They do however, prove to be great subjects most of the time when it comes to art. This particular kid, had a crazy egg-shaped head and was shooting stuff with some sort of invisible finger ray.
Normally, that may be cute, but the kid had an credible mouth on him. As a father myself, and one that has never spanked or struck my child, I had an incredible urge to punt kick this brat across the store. Back talking his mom, throwing shit on the floor, screaming, kicking . . . the child was a complete terror.
The problem though, is that it's not entirely his fault. His parents were complete pushovers and allowed him to run wild. Their
children for gods sake. It's really not that difficult to keep them in line.
Ugh, this is only one side to bad parenting that I see daily, the other is the people who let their kids sit in the basket portion of the cart and ignore them. Countless times I've seen a child fa;; out and smash their head into the hard linoleum. It's heartbreaking to see. There are warnings all over the cart, and I'm
sure common sense has to kick in, but they do it anyway because they've decided that they need to be their childs friend first, and parent later.
But, I digress, no amount of venting or complaining will fix anything. It's depressing to see the world in the state it is though. That's all for now.
