QOTD: Good children but bad parent--> is this possible?
No really a bad parent but a rude parent.
Scene: I'm waiting in the line to pay. There is one cashier. The line is getting long. People are cutting through the long line to get to their shopping aisle. So, I curve the line. So people could go around and shop.
Lady#1 comes up to the line. Says to me, go ahead. She is very pregnant so I say, please go ahead. She says Thank you.
Lady#2 comes up to the line. She sees me and keeps the line straight. The line is curved. I'll call her Mable. Mable has 2 girls, about 6 years old. They are buying hula hoops.
Lady#3 comes up to the line. She says, "I don't know where the line ends?"
I say with a smile, "The line ends here. Behind me."
Mable says, 'Who made you the police of the line?"
Instead of replying like Mable, I say to Mable, with a smile, "Why don't you go ahead?"
Mable says "No".
I say, "But I insist."
Line is moving.
So I say to Mable's little girls, with a smile, "Go ahead girls". They do. Mable follows.
First little girl says, "Thank you", to me.
Second little girl says "Yes, thank you lady".
Another cashier is called and opens another lane. Line moves faster.
The little girls start hula hooping in line, and come back to me in the line to show me how good they are. Mable calls them back, shouting, "The cashier has to scan those. Get back here!"
I say to the ladies behind me, "Sorry you are held back. Go ahead. I'm not in a hurry."
The ladies say, "You had to put up with her rudeness (speaking of Mable), so you should not have to wait.
Question: How is it possible to have two polite little girls but a rude mother?
