Baby genius
By Beverly on Dec 23, 2009 in Overheard in Duluth
Overheard in Target, 10 p.m. Dec. 22 amid Christmas shoppers. I probably wouldn’t have thought this was so funny before I had kids.
Indignant college-age woman to second indignant college-age woman:
“It’s just so, like, what a freakin’ 6-month-old would say!”
That’s better than what I saw. I was in the checkout line in Wal-Mart in Hermantown and this ridiculously trashy woman slapped her 3ish year-old across the face for playing with an empty spray bottle in her cart. I said (loudly) “OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE THAT?” to my boyfriend, and the woman stared me down all the way to the parking lot. I really regret not having done something more. I’m still really mad.
For the record, I never otherwise shop at Wal-Mart. I was with my roommate who needed a ride. I hate that place.
Apparently that girl hasn’t spent much time around six month-olds…very funny. I’ve probably blurted out stuff like that, too, in the heat of the moment, but it’s still funny.
Any parent knows that 6-month old babies don’t know shit.
… and they can’t talk.
