Correcting a Parent Regarding Their Own Child

[Gripper]

Today, I woke up early so went to Tesco as my son needed some new pajamas and other stuff. I also wanted to see what cheap books they had there.

After I bought my stuff, I had breakfast there but there was a really whingy little boy sitting just across from me with his Mam. The winging escalated into crying, which then became screaming - his Mam was basically ignoring him and reading a magazine.

Me: Hiya, nice day today ... is he okay?
Woman: Morning, yeah - he's always like that.
Me: I've got a Bob The Builder phone in one of my bags, you think he might like to play with it?
Woman: Duno.
Me: Gives the kid the phone, he stops crying straight away.
Woman: Thanks.
Me: No problem, my son is about the same age - when I take him somewhere like this, I usually take a toy with me - shuts him up straight away when he's being a nuisance.
Woman: Was he being a nuisance, then?
Me: Kinda, he is adorable tho'.
Woman: Well, he is now that he's smiling! I'll remember next time to bring a game for him.
Me: (thinks) My work here is done

Wtf, do you lot think I am some sort of saint.

When I finished my breakfast, I wrenched the toy out of the annoying kid's hands and left him whimpering.

Before giving it to my own son when I got home, I had to give it a once over with a wet-wipe 'cos the dirty little bugger had gotten tomato sauce over it

You gave a toy to a peon, then gave it back to manlet.

Are you a mentalist at all.

My favourite bit is when he used the word "avoision".

I was going to mention it but, given Rob's feeble grasp on anything to do with his 'biz', I thought the writer may have been being satirical.

However, aviosion is certainly a word I'll try to slip into a letter to t'revenue in the week. They'll never notice

Kick your own arse for that sentence.

It's as unelegant as feck.

Yeah, it's woeful
