...Children are privilege,<br />Not chattel to be slapped<br />for minor misdeeds.<br /><br />A pleasant breakfast,<br />waitstaff attentive to our needs -<br />then whack, whack, whack cry.<br /><br />Apparently it<br />is an unwritten rule that<br />Bacon can't be rolled!<br /><br />If you think that mom<br />got away without my stare,<br />You don't know my style.<br /><br />The damage she did<br />spilled over from her son to me -<br />unhappy morning.<br /><br />How I wished for a<br />calming word or advice to<br />apply some healing.<br /><br /><br />I was not being nosy here. It happened directly in my line of sight six feet away.<br />This was a nine or ten year old boy. She actually slapped him once before this - I think for talking with his mouth full. I tried to give her the benefit of some doubt that time (though I don't hold with hitting kids - maybe he'd been obnoxious earlier, or maybe she had a death in the family???), but the second time it was blatant and totally uncalled for.
