Yeah, few years ago at Wendy's I was in line behind two fat chicks who were talking about how good the baconator looked. when one of the employees, who's "gifted" ran up to congratulate them on thier unborn baby's. Got really quiet in there. Goddamn it was hard not to laugh, especially when they both orderd salads.  We had a "gifted" bagger who would announce "Congratulations!" really loudly if there was half a chance that belly had a baby in it. Usually they were pregnant... but now and then....

Quote HistoryQuoted: However after the baby is born and the womenfolk start talking about the new baby I ALWAYS ask them what they are going to do with the old one.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I would be willing to bet over 50% of adult males are guilty of doing the same thing. When I was a young adult I made the mistake of asking, "When are you due?", and I learned to NEVER comment on a pregnancy. NEVER. She can be in full contractions, and the baby's head is poking out, still you NEVER ask the woman if she is pregnant. NEVER However after the baby is born and the womenfolk start talking about the new baby I ALWAYS ask them what they are going to do with the old one.  I will have to try and use that the next time. |

when my son was three he asked why a big truck made a funny sound when it was backing up. I said it was to warn anyone who was behind the vehicle to be aware and alert. later the same day in the checkout line a plus sized female backed up with her cart and left the checkout line. my son told her the warning sound wasn't working when she backed up. about half the checkout line that heard it. some laughed for a moment, and a couple of others gave me a big stink eye. kid humor is priceless.

Being from CT its not hard to see the kids a multiple offender.
His mom though cute is the enabler. Its clear the kid has parents who don't set boundaries. It's quite common up here to let your kids 'explore and be themselves" which translates to I let my angel do whatever he wants with no regard for others. For the mom to call the news over such a silly thing shows you all you need to know about her and her disrespectful offspring. Poor kid will grow up to be an adult version of what he is now.
