A few of you know me, but for those who don't - I'm a militant activist for the child-free lifestyle.
Anyway, my Boyfriend and I were at the mall this past Sunday and I saw what must've been the most repulsive thing I've seen in quite a while.
We were walking past an Auntie Ann's pretzel stand and decided to get some soft pretzels, so we got into line behind some woman with 2 kids. Well, I'm pretty intolerant of badly-behaved children in public, and I don't care much for kids, but one of them was fairly well behaved so I ignored him. The other one, however, was a different story. She was running around willy nilly like a monkey on crack, screaming at the top of her lungs: "MommIEEEE!!! MOMMMIEEEEEEEEEE!!!" at such a pitch that both BF and I winced and stepped back. Then she proceeded to run up to the display panel where they have pictures of the different sorts of pretzels they sell, and rammed her face up to it and started draging her lips and tongue all over it! All the while the mother was doing NOTHING to reprimand the child... And let's not even get into the unsanitary aspect of this - how many people touch that display panel per day... and god knows what they have on their hands.
I was almost sick right then and there... And I just gave my BF "that look". He rolled his eyes at me in agreement.
