Oh, how I loathe the people who bring their bratty, I'll-scream-and-cry-so-*******-loud-your-eardrums-will-burst children into my place of employment...
I now ENJOY shopping with the wife. I now make it a point to show the wife "hey look at that squeaker!" She now rolls her eyes. She does chuckle at the "AH talk". I make it as fun as I can for my kid and I.
A couple months back, I was at the Deli counter. The line was long and I chilled in the line with my 5 year old, so she went to grab other items. Finally, my number is called and I tell the lady to give me a 1.5lbs of sliced chicken. My son looks at me and says "sshicken"? (he couldn't pronounce it right then). I said, "Yeah, you know....chicken", and went to the "bawk ah!! and arm flapping". Just as I did the my wife rounded the corner and whispered (red faced and embarrassed) "You're such a dork." My son had that high pitched laugh kids get.
