I hate it when I see parents loudly threatening their kids in public just to prove to others around them how "tough" they are. I witnessed this yesterday and the poor little boy was crying his heart out while his mother was continuing her tirade of threats. The boy wasn't even doing anything wrong - just sitting in the cart minding his own business. No wonder so many kids are screwed up by the age of 10. I felt like telling this crackhead to get a life and realize how much of a blessing her kids really are.
