On the way home from picking up my nearly 4 year old son from preschool (time check = 2:15pm), he decided he was going to sit on the sidewalk and refuse to walk home. I kept my cool and tried everything to encourage him to get up. I threatened to take things away from him, told him how angry he was making me…I pulled out all my tricks to no avail. For story purposes only I will tell you that we were near Pennsylvania Hospital.
After about 5+ minutes of this (which is a lifetime when your fuse begins to burn), a hospital security guard walked by and decided that I wasn’t annoyed enough with the situation (Did I mention it was about 100 degrees with the humidity?). He said to my son, “Big boys doesn’t act likes that.” OK, thank you for your 2 cents…now go away. A few minutes later – yes my son was still on the ground refusing to get up – the same security guard came by again. I was assuming he was just on break and went to get something to eat/drink? This time he just couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
(I’m SERIOUSLY not being racist here…just stating facts.)
Security Guard: “I feels sorry fo you parents.” (shaking his head). “I raised me 4 boys and dem wount bee-n ables to sits down if day sits on da ground like dat.”
Me: “Oh gee…thanks” (very snotty)
Security Guard: Chuckle as he kept walking.
Thank you Mr. Security Guard! You were much too generous with your $2 contribution to a situation that already had me completely drenched in sweat and completely annoyed. You walked away too quickly and missed out on my $2 for you. Here’s my illiterate response to the illiterate man who found it necessary to give me his illiterate $2’s worth of comments.
Please, oh please….if you see me tomorrow…
Mind your own business!
