An Observation

from YourFunnyStuff.com

It always amazes me when I see a mom or both parents totally ignoring the kids they have in a store or where ever...while she's pregnant with another one! Hello...? You don't even like the ones you have!

Hmmm...maybe that's why they're trying again--to get one they do like and won't ignore?

An Observation

While sitting in rush-hour traffic yesterday evening, trying to get home from work, there was a car near me that had music blaring. (Sort of crappy music--but that's not important). It was warm out--but not hot--so many people had their windows down.



It was then that I realized that I haven't heard much music while sitting in traffic since it's been nice out, and here it is, almost fall. I got to thinking that it's probably because so many people are always yakking on the phone while they drive, so they don't have any music on...which would be why I haven't heard much of it while driving the million miles to work every day.

Interesting!

Library Laments

Overly made-up/fried-hair older lady patron: Where is there an internet computer. [a statement, not a question]

Me: *gestures at stand-up use computer* Right over here; it's a ten-minute-limit one that doesn't print, but you're free to use it; otherwise there are many computers for adults upstairs.

OMU/FHOLP: I've used the computer here before to check my email and print. Today I'm in a hurry.

Me: Okay.

(computer is occupied by a mom and son, OMU/FHOLP walks up behind them)

OMU/FHOLP: *sighs loudly, then points to a kids' game computer and calls across the open space* What about that one?

Me: *looks up from work* Umm, no, that's a children's computer for games. The stand-up one is the only internet computer on this floor.

OMU/FHOLP: *fidgets for a moment behind mom and son* There aren't any other computers?

Me: *looks up from work again* Uhh, no, not on this floor. There are computers for adults upstairs. *sighs*

OMU/FHOLP: *fidgets a bit more, then wanders off upstairs*

(mom and son almost immediately vacate the stand-up computer)


Yup.

library laments

An [older] mother was saying to her friend/relative that it's impossible to keep kids from playing computer games at home (her kids were toddler-aged).

This just reinforces my question: can't you just say NO?

Parents of today and their kids are just getting worse. I feel like I can say that because I see it everyday, and have been seeing it for around 7 years.

I am not even kidding you when I say that a 4th-grader came into my work wearing a cut-off halter top with tight jeans with the BUTTON UNDONE AND FOLDED DOWN.

She was WITH HER MOTHER.

Holy shit.
