Today I yelled at a stranger's child.
To be fair, I thought it was my own child. A small person standing too close to me in a check out line knocked a bunch of stuff over and I told him to pick it up and then reprimanded him for not doing it neatly.
Then I noticed it was not my child, because his mom was standing there with a shocked look on her face.
I laughed and explained myself but it was really embarrassing. Like, I'm still embarrassed.
But he was doing a shitty job picking that stuff up.
Dude I've chewed out plenty of other people's kids. When people look askance I just tell them I'm a teacher. They totally understand. Nobody parents their kids anymore.
ReplyDeleteI reprimand other people's kids all the time. If your parent won't prevent you from torturing me, my kids, or the general public, then chances are I will. I spent too much time doing it in the classroom to let it slide by in the real world.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA I LOVE THIS. I get a kick out of your blog. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBahaha, I can only imagine the look on the ladies face! Oh well, at least you taught her kid to pick up after himself :)
