So CU and I were at Target today. As we were walking away from the humidifier aisle…dejected because we can’t seem to find one that works in this metropolis, we happened upon a mom yammering away on her cell phone, while her toddler child wiggled around in the cart.
As we walked past her she barked, “If that cup spills one more time, I’m going to beat you right here in the middle of the store.”
Well then. My eyes got about THIS big, and then I asked CU if he’d stand by and cheer me on while I proceeded to take her down and beat her right there in the middle of the store. He said yes. Awww.
I suspect she’d put up a bit of a fight, but I have ways of making her submit.

I wonder if she meant she’d beat the kid right there versus the usual practice of waiting until all shopping was complete, behavior offenses duly noted when the child is beat outside by the dumpsters.
Poor kid.
For shits and giggles, my sister and I used to yell out “Don’t Beat Me, Momma” in the grocery store. We always got the belt later, but it was fun while it lasted.
I can’t believe someone would still say that out loud in a store, in this day and age (not that I think a “beating” is warranted in the first place).
I had a similar experience the other day. Not once, but twice I heard moms threaten to beat their children. I know the first time was at a Target. The mom was looking at shoes and the kid was totally bored and squirmy. I remembered this as I went on another errand (can’t remember where) and heard yet another mom threaten to spank her kid. Maybe it was just time for the da– moms to take their kids home for some lunch and a nap!
