So today I'm at Home Depot with my two daughters, 4 and 5, and it's about 330 in the afternoon. They're riding in the keiki kart, strapped in face to face, mostly having fun but also picking on each other, resulting in tattle telling and whining as to be expected. Kid I has been under the weather all week, but that doesn't stop Kid II from being sassy and from getting in Kid I's face. Face it, this is when Kid II should be taking a nap, but I have to bring them along to run errands.
So I'm in line in the garden section and this older woman, haole, tall, 65ish, starts speaking sweetly to Kid II. I smile until I realize the she's pulling this passive aggresive shit on my kid so I get all New Jersey on her and tell her not to talk to my kids like that, back off and in case you're wondering, you just cut in line and you need to get behind the woman who is behind me.
What the pho? Are you trying to show me how to raise my kids? Am I invisible and there is no adult with them and you need to step in and intervene? Are you a Franciscan nun in civies? This woman just oozed passive aggressive. Frankly, I don't think she was trying to make the world a better place. She was just being a bitch so I gave it back to her.
What would you have done?
