I stop in Publix almost every day on the way home from work, while I'm in my work week apt. for food. Yesterday as I'm getting off the bike, with my hat, dark sunglasses, and leathers, a mother is coming out of the store with a 3 year old in a stroller. This kid is screaming about something he wants, and she had her hands full with the groceries and another smaller kid in arms. So I stop in my tracks in the parking lot and she's coming across the drive towards me, and I focus intensly on the crying boy. As he gets closer he notices I'm watching him, and the crying gets less and less, until they are right in front of me. I look straight down at this red-eyed toddler and ask him "Does it hurt that much, you really need to keep screaming like that?" The kids eyes get REAL big, and he shuts up quiet as a clam. I look at the mom and smile, she smiles back and I walk on to the store. Not another sound came out of that kid. Am I bad?

later, Tom.



Should have bent down quietly whispered in the lads ear "shurrit or I will kick yer ****** to the moon" worked for me and the mother was most impressed she thought I was imparting some sage words of biker wisdom......

I cannot decide whether to be a good example or a horrible warning ! Peace & respect http://www.tomcc.org/gg/ Eric
