A few years ago, I was with a close friend in a grocery store in California. We saw a mother with a small boy moving in the opposite direction. The woman barely noticed us because she was so angry with her little boy, who wanted to pull items off the lower shelves. As the mother became more and more angry, she started to yell at the child. At this point my friend spoke up. I expected my friend would give this woman a mothertomother talk about controlling herself and about the effect this behavior has on a child. Instead, my friend said, " What a beautiful little boy. How old is he?" The woman answered, " He' s three." |
