Oh yeah, I don't know how I forgot. We were at the zoo, and I stopped to fill up my water bottle (I'd drunk it all, and barely sloshed some on 'dul. I was *really* thirsty all day today). At any rate, this was taking me ages, so I stopped to let a little girl go ahead of me. That's polite, right? And when her family notices, they start flipping out at her to "let the lady fill up her bottle" (they'd seen me filling it up before). WTF? Did they think I was being pushed around by a six year old? *glances down* I'm not all that small. Really. Poor kid was just accepting the yelling, too, which left me to explain that, no, really, I *offered* to let her go ahead of me because I was taking so damn long.

I don't know how I forgot to mention this in my earlier post. It really upset me. Put a damper on the whole day.

I hate parents who do that. I was in a doctor's office and this little girl was playing and whenever she got within a few feet of another person her mom would yell at ther for disturbing other people. The little girl wasn't being loud or annoying in the slightest. And people wonder who the majority of children grow up with some sort emotional or social anxiety issue!
