While aceofspace and I were stopping in Goody's to get a gift card for my sister, we were witness to a wonderful screaming fit by this kid at the adjacent register. One day I'll have to post the stages of a crying child fit as observed from my days working at a department store in high school.
While this kid was squaling, I quickly grabbed my cell for this shot. The teenager running our register thought it was hilarious. Ain't cell phone technology grand....?
I remember one time when a child was kicking and hitting his mother so bad, she had to drag him off away from the checkouts. He was soooo spoiled. He had a fish in a bag and toussled the bag so much it fell and broke open...what fun for us at checkouts to see a fish flailing on the floor while the brat is screaming...'my fish!' at the top of his lungs. The mother dragged him off leaving the mess for us to clean up. UGH!!
Don't you wish you could zip-mail kids like that to Iraq, or Darfur, or someplace that would smack them in the face and show them what horrible spoiled brats they are.
