They Grow Up (And Get Incarcerated) So Fast, Part 2

(I am approached by an eight-year-old customer.)

Child: “Miss, can I buy this game?”

(He holds up a copy of an adult-rated game.)

Me: “I’m sorry, you can’t. You’ll need your parent or guardian to buy that for you.”

Child: “Okay. I just called my mom. She’ll be here soon.

(The mother and other children arrive at the store.)

Mother: “Okay, what is it?”

Me: “I just need to know if you approve of this game. It contains blood, violence, use of drugs-”

Mother: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boobs, butts, drugs, whatever. I don’t care. He’s paying for it.”
