*Completely random unrelated picture (sunset from last night) just because I can’t bring myself to lead a post without a picture.
Beth and I stood in Kohl’s this past Saturday.
Dumbfounded.
Completely and utterly speechless.
A mom was berating her son in the middle of the lingerie section.
Loud.
Belligerent.
Mean.
Downright nasty.
My heart ached for the little boy.
He looked to be a few years older than Nick. He said nothing as his Mom shrieked at him.
His grandmother stood by and said nothing.
Perhaps that’s the way she raised her daughter. I don’t think it is, but I don’t know.
As the family walked to the cash register to pay, the mom’s loudly raised voice continued to echo throughout the whole store.
We made our way to the back of the store, intent on checking out white servingware.
We could still hear her.
Beth shook her head. “Anyone can be a parent.”
Isn’t that the truth?
