Kids that LISTEN?????

[Dave1982]

Had a couple in this evening with their THREE small children (two boys and a girl), which I immediately felt would be a problem.

Not 2 minutes later, the kids are running amok on my furniture pad which their parents were looking at chairs.

I asked the parents if they needed any help (foolishly hoping they'd notice that I'd approached only because their kids were running around, but of course they didn't). They were interested in a last one clearance chair, so I told them they could just roll it up.

Heading back towards the cart of stuff I'd left, I walked past the kids and called out "No running, please!"

Daughter: OK! *stops running*

Me: Thank you!

Daughter: You're welcome!!

Then she started yelling at her brothers!! She couldn't have been older than 4!

Daughter: Hey! No running!!! NO RUNNING THAT GUY SAID!!!!!!! THAT GUY SAID "NO RUNNING!!"

I thought it was hilarious and could only just barely keep myself from laughing.

Kids can be awfully cute when they're not acting like little heathens.

I remember when I was that age. I knew other kids would sometimes actually run after those who were still running, to yell at them to stop.

It was a way of continuing running even after being told not to.

I have had kids do that in the past. It's rare but it does happen. And boy do I love it when it happens!
