To have had a go at 2 old bats in the supermarket?

[sb6699]

Just back from supermarket with dd's 1&2 (age 4 and 2).

While I was standing looking at a shelf dd2 was running round my legs singing. These two old bats walk by with their faces contorted saying in a loud voice "that is so awful" - wtf.

Rather than ignoring them I turned round and said "is the noise from a 2 year old child singing really that awful". Their reply was at 2 years old I should be telling her to be quiet and that the supermarket is not a playground!. My response to that was basically to tell her if that was her opinion she should think of staying at home with doors and windows locked and cotton wool in her ears etc, etc.

Fair enough she was getting rather loud and I was about to ask her to pipe down but is it really that bad to hear a child trying to sing?

I am so

So was IBU?

My theory is that most humans have not evolved suffiently to cope with the unnatural environment of the supermarket.

Just wanted to thank you all for your responses yesterday - sorry I had to disappear.

Glad most of you could understand why I did it (rather than thinking I was a twat for even bothering with 2 old ladies - even if they should know better).
