The Reality of My Surroundings
By Fishbone
Sunless Saturday.
see relatedThe Library
Earlier this evening I was at the local library with my number 4 (code number for my 4th child). Anyway, #4 is usually really good at public places. We make a habit of frequenting the library every week or so. I am convinced she will become a linguist. Her vocabulary at the age of 4 (no pun intended) is simply phenomenal. I am by no means bragging since this is my child.
Anyhow, we happened upon another child at the library who was cute enough, but a mischievous type. She was jumping all over the place, stading on tables and chairs and had no regard for the patrons at hand.
It was strange that her mother who was there was on the computer,and not paying attention to her other children also. They we older and certainly had more control over their own actions. She was busy on no other site but "MySpace".
I think that Myspace is the equivalent of crack to some people. I mean knowledge of the internet and usage is making the world a much, much smaller place which is a good thing. Although seeing this situation this evening I couldn't help but think that people who have addictive personalities should at least moderate their usage and or cut it out altogether.
Losing sight of your kids or just choosing to ignore their behavior in public is inexcusable. Every library personnel had reprimanded the child numerous times and where was the parent? Oh yeah Myspace. Ridiculous.

Oh gravy! Don't I know. I had a myspace in order to stay in contact via the "cool way" with some friends living in Las Vegas and a few in Georgia...but I deleted it just because I got so irritated with people who were fully capable of dialing my number, instead, leaving message after message asking why I'm never on myspace. Well, for goodness sakes, perhaps because I have children and up until last week had neither internet nor cable. If it were up to me I would do away with cell phones, text messaging, internet and cable and go back to the basics of life. In addition, I would like to take a moment to comment on the people who call my phone and get angry with me because I didn't answer...because they just KNOW I had to have my phone on me. For one, it is NOT always on me...and two, maybe I just didn't feel like talking...why can't that be okay!? Oh...and as far as reprimanding(sp?) children...I took my daughter to get some shots for school today and there was a lady there who was pregnant with her fifth child and had absolutly NO control over the four that were screaming and running through the waiting room. My daughter is very well mannered and was actually scared enough of all the excitement that she decided to put the books to the side and just come sit next to me. It's rediculous. I have now written a comment of a blog to your blog.
Kids these days.
BLAME THE PARENTS.
