I had a lesson last night in how rude parents can be

[Archae]

23. After I was there for a couple years.

I didn't mind the playground, at first.

But it was the kids screaming.
Not yelling, not playing.

There were several little girls, spoiled, of course, who would scream if they didn't get their way.
This wasn't play screaming. It was spoiled-brat screaming.

That sort of spoiled-brat scream you'll run into in a store sometimes, the scream that turns your spine to jello.

And the playground supervisor just sat and let them scream.

BTW, there were four of my neighbors there with me, complaining too.

This was 25+ years ago.
