What's becoming of kids today!

Life is so so amusing. Was doing some Christmas shopping today and I was so taken aback by how absurdly rude kids can be.. seriously.. I don't mean teenagers.. I mean KIDS. Those brats that i saw were probably not anywhere near 10!

We were in the queue, and might I add, a long one, while those two brats were behind me. I admit.. I did buy quite a number of things and was asking for home delivery (you don't expect me to lug my purchases while i do my shopping, do you?) so it probably took that tad longer than usual. But honestly, Not once have I complained when I'm in a queue. My Logic's this.. DON'T Queue. If you think it's too long, skip it, shop awhile more before heading for the checkout.

Anyway.. Back to it, those two brats were complaining, in their all so broken english, or should I say, Singlish, in that irritating shrieky childish voice (yes.. I'm pissed) "why the queue so long ar?", "how come must wait so long ar?".. or whatever they were trying to express.

The funny thing is.. they were a pair of siblings and the girl.. trying to do that stare and roll eyes thing kept trying to look at me.. and she being at a 10 year old height, looked absolutely ridiculous from where i was standing. She picked the wrong person to stare at. If you wanna roll your eyes, please do it in the person's face and not the abdomen, it's just insanely stupid. So they went on venting until it got on my nerves, I stared down at her, and said.. "Kids should just stop complaining" and did the perfect eye roll. I didn't mean to be mean, but can you blame me?

Anyway.. Point is.. If you have a kid, or in future, will have a kid.. please teach them some manners, along with all the potty training and speech. It's annoying to have a kid complaining, speaking with bad english makes it worse. and seriously.. What's becoming of kids today!
