While waiting for Sammy's doctor appointment today I made some interesting observations. There was a mom there with two kids. She told her son that he couldn't play with any of the toys because he wasn't sick and she didn't want him to get germs. Then she got on her pink cell phone and chatted with someone for awhile. When her kids would come near she would tell them she was busy. Then she was filling out paperwork and told her kids she was too busy and to leave her alone. To try to entertain her children, she pulled out an ipod touch for each of them. One child's was dead so he was upset but the mom kept telling him it was his fault for not telling her it was dead. The part that really got me was when her daughter replied to a question with a simple "yes" she was corrected and required to say "yes, ma'am!" Seriously, have we become so disconnected in society that our preschool age children are carrying around their own ipods and answering their parents in a very formal way. Needless to say, I was a little shocked and wanted to laugh!! If only this mom would give her kids a few minutes of her time.....
On another note, Sammy apparently has influenza and has lovingly shared it with me!!! Lucky Us!!!
