It Takes A Lot To Raise A Pride These Days

A mother is checking out. She has her newborn infant in a buggy, along with her son who looks to be about four years old.

Suddenly, the boy’s eyes go wide, and he shouts loudly.

Son: “Mommy! You forgot to raise [Little Brother]! You need to raise him!”

I look confused and the mother catches my look.

Customer: “Oh, he thinks ‘raising a child’ means actually lifting a child above your head. He got that from The Lion King.”

Me: “Oh, that’s cute!”

Customer: “It is, until you find your four-year-old trying to hold his baby brother up over his head next to a bunch of rocks…” 

I need to stop chatting with the customers!
