That's Not Cute

I cannot stand bad ass kids! Children that are flip at the mouth or have behavioral issues and no clinical diagnoses to explain their behavior make me itch.

This past weekend, I went to a birthday party/BBQ. There was this little boy there and I swear, I wanted to punch him straight in his face. He was so flip!! I couldn't do anything but stand there with my mouth wide open in disbelief.

He had so much attitude. There was neck and eye rolling to boot. Mind you, he was engaging in conversation with an adult. At some point in their exchange, he said, "Listen, I am a grown 7 year old....." Excuse me! When in the world did seven become grown? What bills do you pay? What life experience do you have? That right there should have been a pop in the mouth.

There are other children that I encounter that don't seem to realize the difference between themselves and adults in conversation. Never in conversation with an adult, should a child say, "You liar." My friends daughter said that and before I knew it, my hand was reaching across to pop her in the mouth. My cousin has this thing for sucking his teeth at adults when he doesn't hear what he wants. Yeah....that's not okay. We were driving along one day, I responded to whatever he was asking and he damn near sucked the enamel off his teeth. With that, my hand was at the back of his head.

When in the world did children become so rude? When I was coming up, talking back to any adult, was a major offense. I wouldn't dare call an adult a liar. If I sucked my teeth, my mother would threaten to remove them. I don't know what it wrong with the children of today. Maybe there need to be a lot more pops in the mouth and they'll figure out that the way they are carrying on, is not okay. LOL. No seriously.
