A peek
While grocery shopping today I had an interesting experience. I heard a kid screaming (sounded something like a tantrum) behind the rack I was looking into. I could also hear the mother very calmly asking,"Do you want some more?" The kid burst into another teary scream and said,"Nooo..." I had a passing thought while continuing shopping - maybe, the kid doesnt want to eat anymore, when I turned to the other side(not to peek, just to shop - I am past the stage when a kid's tantrum catches my attention!) and found the flustered mother showing a fist to the kid and still very calmly saying,"Do you want some more?" - she turned away as soon as I came into her visibility zone.
If I was not a mother, I would have thought that inhuman. But being a mother, it reminded me of what one great lady had told me,"All mothers are humans, we all have our limits...." I found myself embarassed to sympathise not only with the kid but also with the mother.
