To the mom with the fedora at the sports store: We asked you to take your conversation with your teenager elsewhere and your reply was, “Obviously you don’t have kids.” Guess what? I don’t need to have kids to see that you’re a spoiled brat. The store was almost empty, you could have sat anywhere to whine and complain about your stupid first-world problems. We were asking you to be a decent human being. Fuck. I wish people like you didn’t have kids. And for all the moms out there, that’s not an appropriate thing to say to any woman, ever.
