Putting Them Back In Their Place
Grocery Store | Friendly
| July 31, 2014
(I am shopping with my two-year-old. She is very well behaved, but being two doesn’t always understand. We are looking at a shelf, there are a couple also standing there next to us. My daughter begins to play with some of the packaged food.)
Me: *in my best ‘Dad’ voice* “Er, excuse me. We don’t do that. Put that back, please.”
(The woman freezes and puts the pepper she was looking at slowly back on the shelf.)
Me: *to the woman* “Oh, no. Sorry, not you.”
Woman: “Oh, I… er…” *looks at me then my daughter* “I didn’t want it anyway.”
(She turned bright red and quickly walked off.)
