Bad A** Kids

Now y'all know I luh da kids. That's southern for I like children. But please people, when you have your little terrorists out in public, don't let them act up.

Case in point...I'm out hangin' with my mom and we go grab a bite to eat at Panera Bread. There's this one family in there with a kid that looked about 5 or 6. She has this little fairy costume on, crown and all. I don't know what that was all about but anyway... Mama and I grab a seat a couple of tables over from them and this little child is running around climbing on the furniture, walking over to the fireplace reaching out to touch the screen.

Now I KNOW at this point in life that child has learned the word "hot". She goes over and starts rubbing the rocks like an inch away from the screen. The adults casually turn around and say "Emma, no, honey, don't do that." She doesn't even turn her head to acknowledge them. Then the little girl with them that looks about 9 or 10 speaks up and she whips her head around and when the CHILD tells her not to touch the fireplace she turns around and walks away. WHAT?!?!? So she listens to the child, but not to the adult.

Ooooookay.

Then this kid gets on the floor and starts sticking her fingers into the electric socket. The grown folks (except for me and my mother) totally missed it. Then in come running and screaming three more kids, none of them look older than about 8. One little girl has her way too short dress on inside out and promptly proceeds to climb over the furniture, panties showing and all. Can't see any adults. Then they all start jumping all over the furniture and making up a bunch of noise.

After about ten minutes of this, two women come over and bring them bagels and muffins, set up their laptops and proceed to ignore all three children as they spread butter on their bagels WITH REAL KNIVES, not plastic ones, then run back and forth through the restaurant. Neither woman so much as turned her head to see what the kids were doing. Unbelievable. Some people shouldn't have sex.
