Title: American society today
Post by: Badgersmilk on July 09, 2011, 08:17:10 PM
Fixing late dinner and hear a big ruckus outside.  The neighbors little 9yr old kid is out there stomping around with her arms crossed, and her mom is following her around bowed down apologizing.  WTF?  Then a cop pulls up!  This just got interesting!

As they are explaining to the cop I hear that "mom" refused to take the kid someplace she wanted to go.  And the kid called 911 on her!   ;D ;D ;D  

This is the same couple that seems to know EVERY time a cop car comes anywhere near our neighborhood exactly whats going on before the cop even drives past.   :-\

I've HEARD from down the street the mom tear the dad a new one half a dozen times in the last few months we've lived here.  He never says a word.  And she yells at him like a dog that pee'd on her pillow!  Clearly the kid is the one wearing the pants in the house though.  And dads pecking order is just below the hamster.

Mind you this isn't exactly the ghetto.  Or Beverly Hills.  Just normal 'ol suburbia USA...  I thought!   :D

Kid and wife should both be sporting shiners.

Or at least have to eat standing up for a while.   ;)

Sounds a little like the busy body in the development who likes to send out covenant violation letters.

Sounds like a fun place to me. Always something going on. Keeps it from getting boring?

Sounds like someone needs to take a trip to the attitude adjustment (wood shed) department.

I think there should be a jury trial. "Bailiff, send in the Orlando 12!"     Bill T.
