    That's good parenting, right there

    I have to share this, cuz it was just so funny. This girl and her son came into the store, the boy (around two or three) asked his mum for chocolate, she said no. While she was paying for her fuel, the boy grabbed a chocolate bar off the shelf, opened it and licked it.

    The mother didn't falter, she just added it to her bill and paid for it. All the time, the boy has a smug look on his face, cuz he thinks he's getting chocolate. But then, the girl unwrapped it and ate it in front of him, saying, "I said, no chocolate. I had to buy this cuz you licked it, but I'll be damned if you're going to get it when I said no."

        Hard lesson, but a necessary one. Well done that mother.

            Methinks said boy will be spending some time in his room / the corner when he gets home too. Good job mom!

              Haha, I love it! She was a good customer by buying the ruined candy, and a good mom for both not going the Big Deal route (immediately yelling or shaming) and eating it herself. I bet he doesn't try that tactic again.

                    It's things like this that help to restore my faith in humanity. XD

                      Nice work, Mom. Taught the little brat that NO means NO, and you got a treat you probably needed after dealing with that kid. (Face it, some kids are natural brats, even with the best of parenting.)

                              Wondering just how loud the kid's shrieking tizzy was.
