Talking Stupid People : Front Line Report
I went to the Grocery Store. Excuse me sir, do you have four quarters for a dollar? My son wants to ride the carousel...
Handsome young man wanted to ride the horses. Sure I have change, saves the mom from having to go inside the grocery store. The young man even said "thank you mister".
So as he goes around he is playing "cowboy", pointing his finger " and shooting the BGs behind him...seems he was being chased.
Hey, I understand, I was Three once and them BGs do come up from behind.
"That is totally unacceptable! How dare you raise a child that way!" "Guns are bad don't you know anything?'
I put out my cigarette, I was just taking in the kid having fun, shooting BGs, and observing a mom and son moment.
Mom replied -" None of YOUR business how I raise my son - now is it?"
Then Busybody got in my face, what are you doing robbing the cradle so young and having a child by a Communist?"
Oh Goody! I am now officially involved.
'Ma'am I usually am respectful of folks, in the event I forget my manners, I don't plan on apologizing, you understand?
"I just met this lady a few moments ago, she asked for change for a dollar. It makes no nevermind to me what Race, Creed, or anything else she is. She is a human being and she has rights. Furthermore it seems she is raising her kid just fine, letting him be a kid. He has that right too."
Mom interjects- " I am an American by birth, and Air Force Brat whose parents are American [Scotch- Irish father] and German on Moms' side. I am a Medical Doctor, in attendence for a few days for a conference, I do Orthopedic Surgery".
Hey, I'm impressed! I stick another quarter in , let the kid be a kid...
BusyBody- "I'm going to call the Police".
I suggest she just go inside and get store security, then again this store's Security Guards do carry sidearms. I had to mention that twice just for good measure and all. The Dr. had to turn to hide laughter...
Seems Busybody was in such a hurry to meddle, when she pulled up , she left her car door open, keys in ignition, and purse on seat, that is where her cell- phone was.
'Ma'am, as a Medical Professional, perhaps I should call a family member".
"What for?, Nobody is home today..." Busybody replies.
"Then perhaps I should call the Police, it is obvious you are not stable and off your meds. Not stable enough to be operating a car. To leave a vehicle with door open, keys in ignition, and purse for anyone to steal, is not very responsible now is it?".
Busy body " Then why don't you fuss at him [me] for smoking?"
Dr. "None of my damn business, besides I smoke sometimes myself after a long surgery...not all the time, but I do".
Kid is going around and around, he has gotten the BGs off "his tail", now he has to ride up ahead to find more BGs...
Busybody storms to her car, slams the door, and almost backs into a car passing behind her. Leaves the premises.
The kid gets another turn...
Dr. and I visit. Seems it is no big deal for her husband and son to come along on these conferences. Soon enough - with him getting older, attending school and all it will be more difficult.
Being an Air Force brat , she really appreciates family time, and being together.
Come to find out she and her husband shoot, live in a nearby state. Implied was CCW and recipriocostiy of respective states.
"You know in TX we can shoot folks at night stealing property. Maybe I need to get the legislation ball rolling to shoot folks being stupid and meddling in broad daylight." She said. We were laughing about our joke and attitudes.
We figured though a good idea, gonna take a lot of ammo in the beginning stages to get things sorted out.
Busybody dropped her grocery list we noticed. Mostly Frozen TV dinners with coupons...
Now that might be worth doing a study on to see the effects of TV dinners and Stupidty in Society.
"Mom...that lady was sick wasn't she?"
Who says a three year old is not observant?.
