Two teenage girls navigating the aisles of Target in a shopping cart. The older one pushing, the one that appeared to be thirteen going on three, sitting in the cart.
As they passed by I hear: "Don't hit the old man."
I wanted so badly to say something in response. Most old men probably would have. Maybe had I been with an old lady, she would have said something.
I don't understand the thought process ..... how regardless of age, when you make a stupid and asinine comment, you can laugh and feel good about yourself at any point after?
There used to be a saying that parents of kids from my generation would threaten, and I heard of an occasion or two where it actually happened .... Getting ones mouth washed out with soap. Is that still a thing?
