AIBU to think that this woman in the Chocolate Apothecary should be shot?

She and her DH were at the counter selecting the twenty handmade artisanal chocolates which would cost them twenty quid when their DS who looked to be about six slid off the high barstool behind them onto the floor despite him being watched by his teenaged sister who reacted immediately.

He made a bit of a thump going down but didn't cry and the DH went straight over to check him BUT I was absolutely appalled that after a brief turn of head this sorry excuse for a mother just continued to concentrate on the merits of salted caramel, lime, rum and coconut, kirsch, strawberry and champagne pistachio, peanut butter, limoncello and amaretto chocolate instead of assisting her husband with their potentially but not upset or injured offspring. Spme people!

Grin Oh yes, now I see! As you were, OP.

Please confirm that you chose the salted caramel and champagne pistachio, how good we're they? Better than sex with Jonny Depp? Am on a need to know basis here living my cravings through your posts.

I have found the vagina point to be true in the same way that being in possession of a penis excuses their owners of any responsibility but thankfully I divorced that twat in favour of lovely DH
To be fair the chocolate shop lady didn't pour scorn on us in the way that most people have when out and about with DS.

It was probably the straw that broke but I thank you for your transfers.

No helpful comments but I would like to share that I have been reading the word artisanal as artis-anal

It is now my favourite word

Better than sex with Johnny Depp? Shock Does such confectionery exist?

SP you can say anything on any of my threads because I think it was your post about that twat Jamie Oliver which inspired this week's username Smile

I get these looks all the time as DD falls on her arse and I shout, "shake it off, DD". And she does, most of the time. This means that she is not a whingy, whiney, snively child and if there are tears I am pretty sure there is blood or a bruise.

The looks as I tell her to shake it off are Shock Confused and Angry

Chocolate trumps thump and no cry in my book. Not even good chocolate. Crap chocolate would do.

Grin Oh his Twizzler hide out I know think he has?

NoComet · 14/09/2013 00:40

I recall concentrating far harder on ice cream than DD slipping off a bar stool in Portugal.

DD1 climbed everything, she rarely fell off and generally bounced.

VaultFullOfTwizzlers · 14/09/2013 01:01

Lol at concentring more on ice cream than DC falling Grin

SP JO admitted to having a vault and he says he is keeping a vegetarian cookbook in it but obviously promoting his bollocks budget recipes when DC are going off to University is a tad more lucrative.
