The next generation

To the mom at B&N:

Your 4-year-old daughter is selfish, self-centered, and doesn't care to share the train set with the 15 month old and 2 year old children who are so desperately trying to play with just one small portion of the entire set.

While you were on your cell phone, your daughter was attempting to plow over both children because they were standing in the way, playing with their small corner of the set that she would allow them to, as she made her way around the entire train table.

While you were on your cell phone, your daughter got a lesson from me in kindness, sharing, empathy, patience, tolerance of others, especially children younger than her.

While you were on your cell phone, I pitied you and found you self-centered, selfish, and empty.

While you were on your cell phone, your daughter grew up to be selfish, self-centered, and empty - just like you.
