I had to go to Sam’s to pick up some kind of hyper-super eye drops that I’m supposed to use the day before my Lasik. I was a little thirsty and had twenty minutes to kill, so I went to the food area. This is what happened after I sat down with my drink:
A sizable woman and her son (looked about 4-years-old) made their way passed my table. The woman, carrying a huge purse, two jackets, and an empty 32 oz. styrofoam cup (that’s the only size Sam’s sells), struggled toward a table so she could unload her items. The boy, also carrying an empty 32 oz. styrofoam cup, did not follow her to the table, but stopped at the soda fountain. He walked back and forth between the two machines.
BOY: Which one is water, Mom? Mom, I want water. Mom, I’m thirsty. I want some water.
MOM: Stop it. Wait ’til your grandpa gets here.
BOY: I want some water.
MOM: No! Now sit down! I did not pay a dollar so you could drink water. We can get water for free.
I mean, what kind of stupid-crazy do you have to be to force your kid to drink soda instead of water…when he clearly wants water? What the fuck, people?!
