Reason Why I Love America Number 428

Overheard today while waiting at the deli in the grocery store:

Child: Mom, can I get some fruit? (As they are headed into the produce section.)

Mom: No! (All exasperated like.)

Child: But why? (All whiny like.)

Mom: Because you already got cookies and ice cream! (Frantically waving them in her daughter’s face to emphasize the point.)

That’s perfect! What a country!

WOW!! Did you get a name, address number?? I want in that family. Give me the cookies and ice cream. Hold the bananas and apples please.

Fruit! Pshhhhhhhhhh!

that is funny. i wonder if the mother had any idea what she was *really* saying?

“sure, kill yourself on the ice cream and cookies. fruit might keep you alive and we can’t have that.”

i lurked, i laughed! now i’m commenting!
that kid was really pushing it!
i remember once I saw a woman with an infant at walmart, she had propped a bottle of gripewater in her kids mouth and the bottle had a nipple on it….
