Regarding screaming bra...Happy Blogiversary, Betty! <BR/><BR/>Regarding screaming bratty kids: when we were young and at a restaurant or store and started acting up, my mom would lean over and tell us quietly that if we didn't behave, we were leaving. One chance to straighten up. If we didn't, she left. <BR/><BR/>She brought us with her, of course. <BR/><BR/>It may have taken her longer to complete errands and may have interrupted some dinners out, but the parent has to follow through. <BR/><BR/>We learned very quickly what is and is not acceptable behavior in public. To this day, you won't find me snatching items off grocery store shelves or throwing my spaghetti on the restaurant floor. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09790821597805668907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-2863756977050063422007-04-18T08:26:00.000-05:002007-04-18T08:26:00.000-05:00Happy Blogiversary.

They find me. In restaurants (yes, they still allow smoking in restaurants around here, but I don't want to start a mass migration to Missouri), in the bowling alley, in the park, in the casino. All smokers converge on me. It's enough to make me want to throw a tantrum.<BR/><BR/>Happy Blogiversary.

Your baby is gorgeous :)<BR/> We both have a bloggiversary, mine was last week, but I just discovered it :)<BR/><BR/> I do not take my kids shopping, not all togethr anyhow.<BR/> For groceries, I go alone. I like it alone, I don;t forget a thing when I am alone. When I take kids, I forget important things, like toothpaste!!<BR/><BR/> I go up to people with screaming kids. Sometimes, I scream and pretend to cry in front of them. The child begins to laugh, and, if they are at an age that will be able top fathom my words, I say, "Now, did that look silly?" If they say yes, I say, "Well, you look just like that when you scream". I then walk off :)Cazzie!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13856029137337148466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-12983134893465285782007-04-17T00:08:00.000-05:002007-04-17T00:08:00.000-05:00Thanks, everyone, for the good words.

At least at Wal-Mart. Just the other day there was a kid screaming bloody murder. I almost asked the mom if she wanted me to watch her basket while she got her son under control. He was so upset, past the point of throwing a fit, and she just ignored him and let him scream as he lunged for her. Sad, really.<BR/><BR/>Love the new look.
