I don't typically agree with a child being allowed to remain disruptive enough to get on the nerves of others. I wouldn’t allow it simply because I’m considerate of others and I understand as a parent that boundaries need to be set from an early age. (Please bear with me because I’m gonna go all over the place with this ranting). But toddlers will be toddlers. They cry. That’s like throwing something angrily at a neighbor’s dog for barking. That’s just what they do. They bark. Obviously this child isn’t a dog, it’s a human being. But this man seems like he has very low tolerance for whatever reason.
We don't know why this particular toddler was crying. Perhaps the child wasn't feeling well and the mother was trying to find something in the medicine ailse to ease her baby's suffering. That's probably where the man encountered them while he was filling is prescription or trying to find Geritol or even some Efferdent. I don't know if this is true because we don't know specifically which aisle the mother and baby were in. It certainly wasn't the women's clothing aisle or unmentionables aisle. That old geezer wouldn't have been there. I doubt it was the automotive aisle.. (yall see where I'm going with this). But just maybe they passed the toy aisle and the baby went berserk.
I’m probably just running in place trying to decipher what part of Wal-mart there were located in. Some would say she should have been in the condom aisle last year. But I digress.
That man had no right striking someone else's baby for WHATEVER reason. It's a f*ckin BAY-bee. I couldn't bring myself to hit my own daughter let alone allow some absolute stranger hit her. The police would have been arresting me right along with that old fart. Which essentially would have probably afforded me an opportunity to pounce on his ass in the back of the police car.
I know that back in the day it was perfectly accepted for a stranger to hit a child not of their own for misbehaving. Some of you dinosaurs here experienced that probably on both sides of the fence. However, these days that shit don’t fly. It could very well be that ideologies are changing or being overwhelmed by new ones. In a sense, the old world is clashing with the new. Or, this could be a prime example of how we are losing our tolerance more and more each and every day. People can’t seem to tolerate other peoples’ opinions, religions, views, speech, or way of thinking anymore. And now a crying baby cannot be tolerated. We have to be always on our guard and be politically correct or someone is offended. What’s becoming of us?
