Ignoring a Chatty Child: Am I a Monster? 😈
Our protagonist finds herself in a sticky situation on the train ride home. A talkative tot spots her sparkly backpack and makes a beeline for her, ready to chat her ear off. Not in the mood for a lengthy convo, she cranks up the volume on her earbuds and pretends to sleep. But when it's time to exit, the kid's mom confronts her, calling her a b*tch and a sicko for ignoring her little one. Our gal doesn't hate kids, but she's not a fan of having her ears talked off either. So, let's see what the internet has to say about this awkward encounter! 🌐
Teachable moment for respectful parenting and good etiquette. 🙌
