Really? We're not all using check cards at this point? These offenders come in all shapes, sizes, and ages in my town, and I always manage to get behind one of them. 15 or less indicates that we are trying to keep the line moving, people! And I get in that line with my appropriate number of items and with my screaming, squirming kid so that he doesn't bother everyone else for much longer. Furthermore, no kids at Whole Foods??? At any hour, that's ridiculous. The Whole World is not welcome at Whole Foods? I guess the kids don't reek of enough pretentiousness yet...Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01144344435356676130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919834717469715260.post-64472854145955097422011-08-06T00:34:42.746-05:002011-08-06T00:34:42.746-05:00whenever i hear about this no-child movement i bec...whenever i hear about this no-child movement i become irate. for the reasons you describe above so hilariously, but also because it makes me wonder about the values of a society that has so little tolerance for the realities of the human life cycle. we've moved seniors out of sight and into nursing homes and assisted living facilities, nursing women can't breastfeed their babies in public in many places, the mentally ill are locked away from the public eye, and now there's a movement afoot to ban kids from many public spaces. i just think there's something off-kilter about a culture that can't bear the realities of the human life arc with grace and patience. don't get me wrong, i'm the first to give the stink-eye to a kid-parent duo that's causing a ruckus in public, but i recognize their right to exist in the same space, even as they drive up my blood pressure. i don't know, but i think there's a connection between our youth/beauty/perfection obsessed culture and this seeming inability to deal with the young, the old, the imperfect and it bums me out at a bunch of levels.pdxprofessorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367151253197008744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1919834717469715260.post-39972319571457534352011-08-02T21:55:57.812-05:002011-08-02T21:55:57.812-05:00I totally agree with you!!!
