Baby On Board; Mother, Not So Much

(A woman comes up to our movie theater with four small girls and a baby in a carrier.)

Customer: “Hi, four children and one adult to Hannah Montana, please.”

Me: “All right, that’ll be $32.00.”

Customer: *rummages around in her purse* “Oh, shoot! I’ve forgotten my wallet in the car. I’ll be right back.”

Me: “Okay, no problem.”

Customer: “Girls, you stay here with the nice lady…” *looks at me* “Should I leave the baby here, or take it with me?”

Me: “Ma’am, please take your infant with you!”

Customer: “Oh, okay. Girls, be good!”
