to not like strange children picking up my shopping?

[BuzzingNoise]

At the supermarket today, there was a man in front of me at the checkout. He had two children with him, who I guessed to be 8 (girl) and 10 (boy).
They had finished putting their shopping on the belt and the boy put a divider down.
I started to put my shopping down and the first items I put down were a birthday card, a pack of wrapping paper and a pack of Quorn sausages.
The boy picked up all three items and the two children looked at them before he put them down.
He then looked at me, saw I was looking at him, and stopped.
How odd.

yup. very odd.

If you'd said two boys I'd have thought they could well have been mine! no boundaries, my lads.

You would have been well within your rights to say please put my items down, thank you.

Did the man not see?

no their dad didn't seem to notice. I was about to say something when they stopped.

You should have hissed at them, or poked them with a big stick. I carry one with me for this very purpose.

my cattle prod was at home on charge.

I would have been very embarrassed had my child done this. YANBU but as the dad didn't notice, not much he could do. At least they stopped when you looked at them.

Ah, well all your fault then, YABU.
What did you think would happen if you went to a supermarket without it?

Was it Asda?
I find that's the worst place for chavvy errant children.

You should start shopping at Waitrose, no need for prods there, just a pair of ear plugs to block out the Boden Mummies and their, 'Oooh no Atticus, we can't possibly buy tomatoes as they're not in season', and 'well of course Felicia, you may have your favourite Brie de Meux for lunch today, would you like your favourite salad leaf rocket (pronounced rockay of course), to go with it'?.

My boys would have done this and then commented loudly on the size of your arse. And asked you what your favourite colour was. And then told you what they were having for tea. And punched eachother. And run off in opposite directions. And screamed.
My kids are sooooo much fun.

it was Sainsbury's so at least they were well presented!
Mrs Mind Control, they'd have had a lot to comment on if they were going to comment on my arse!

Yes, no jeggings in Sainsbos.

I do like a well presented child, even if they must be bratty forward.

mrsmindcontrol seems to have stolen my children! You can keep them if you like....

Kids are weird. This can't be news?
