I get the humor, but personally, I can sympathize with the woman with the screaming kid in Wal-Mart. Been there, done that. Some kids are just harder than others.
That said ... my kid turned out fine. Smart as a whip, doesn't drink or do drugs, never been in any kind of trouble, & currently attending college on two academic scholarships. She's a huge liberal too ... much to my chagrin. It makes for some interesting conversations at home though.

That is great EG. She may change her political views when she is out on her own. Where is she going to school?
On the photo., I do sympathize with the moms. What we don't know, is the child a special needs child. Very difficult.

When I was a tyke in Chicago, I had seen my friends get their way when throwing a tantrum.
I wanted a toy in the Woolworth store...Mom said, no. I threw myself on the floor, much like above I guess. Mom dragged me outside and spanked me. When I whined to my Ol' Man that "mommy had spanked me" (bad idea) he wanted to know what the h*** I had done to deserve it.
Amazing...last tantrum ever.

I always loved math in school. It was one of the things that was concrete.
Today I teach adults real estate which involves some arithmetic. No class fails to leave me just shaking my head that so few, if any, can do the simplest calculations in their head.
I also believe that while you many not use algebra and geometry every day, they taught you valuable problem solving skills.
I know they don't use geometry every day because they cannot calculate the number of sq. ft. in a square much less a rectangle....

One of my grsndson's, when I called him for breakfast threw himself on the floor and started kicking and banging his hands. I tapped him on the shoulder....he quickly stopped, and I asked him what he was doing. He said, I'm pitching a fit". I calmly said ok....but you have to do it outside. I put him on the patio and told him to knock when finished and I would unlock the door. I locked the door and closed the blinds. A minute later he knocked and said he was finished. He ate and it never happened again.
