Child sitting with it's mother, child was about 5, she's sitting there reading an encyclopedia to it, trying to teach it the correct anatomical names for bones. Child has a paddy, pays no attention at all, granny walks in and sits talking to a person sitting next to her about said child, how bright he is la da da! Child then starts screaming because he wants crisps (despite polishing off a huge cookie), after a few feble attempts at "no, you can't have that" mother gives in and the little darling gets crisps....that he then spills all over the floor, granny in the mean time is still talking about how clever child is. Child then starts screaming when asked to sit down and pulls yet another tantrum.
How many times now? Being clever isn't an excuse to behave like the exorcist!!
There's no point teaching your child the anatomical bone names if they can't behave well enough to leave the house!
That's better.

I'm guilty. I admit it. I sat in a cafe and I judged in a baaaaad way. But I'm not appologising, ignore, go on, don't read, I'm just venting..
