The other day I had the opportunity to witness a young mother yelling at her five-year-old son in a health club. She told him that if he continued with his idiotic behavior she would take away his ice cream after supper.
I could not mind my own business, and I had to address the young lady. I told her that it was unacceptable to deny the boy a dessert that is part of his childhood. She then told me to mind my own business and said she hadn't asked my opinion. I told the young woman that denying ice cream to her child will ensure that the boy grows up with tremendous frustration and will only contribute to his homicidal tendencies as an adult.
I got an email from the woman and the attachment showed a picture of the boy eating a giant banana split. Was I happy now? I suppose I was.
