I went at the wrong time, not because of the crowd but because of the rude kids at this store. As I turned the corner of an isle a group of teens and I met. Now I’m sure this has happened to you but let me tell you what happen to me. <br /><br />I stopped and said excuse me, step to my left. One male told me to go do something to myself. Well, needless to say I was taken back with the language these kids were using especially at me. I’m not that old (or at least I don’t feel that old). Back when my parents found out I treated my “elders” with disrespect I got my butt tore up. What has happened to the kids that will one day take care of us as we pass the retirement age? <br /><br />I think it is time for parents (if there are still any) to get busy with parenting their children. Get off your lazy butts and take reasonability for your own kids. Now I’m sure the parents and kids that read this are mostly good people. The problem is the ones I’m speaking of won’t or don’t read comments like this. <br /><br />By the way the teens I spoke of meeting head to head in the store, they did not know who I was but I knew them just as soon as I saw them with their parents. As I moved through the store I saw them standing in the check out line. I had not finished picking up my few items but I made it a point to get in line behind them. The teens saw me and tried to get out of line. It was too late. I called the mother and father by their first name. I just happened to look in their direction and their eyes were as big as beach balls. The parents and I started talking about the day. I brought up the chance meeting with the teen’s just minutes ago. And of course I brought up the language that was used during the head to head meeting. Lets just say the teens were in for a fun ride home because I know these parents and the teens will have a hard time sitting down. For once in a long time getting even felt so good. So kids be careful of what you say or who you miss treat. If it is me I most likely know your parents.mybitteropinionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17810373450753959173noreply@blogger.com
