{ What the hell? }
-PipsqueakLet's just forget for the moment that yelling across the room at your son is more disruptive than are his antics with the drinking fountain. Let's ignore the fact that he has been wandering freely around the library with minimal, if any, supervision. In a padded Spiderman outfit. Let's concentrate on the current problem facing us: the child, your child, wandering down the fiction aisle, punching the rows of books with all his Spiderman might and crying out in his best toddler-superhero voice with each blow. Not as pressing an issue as, say, pulling entire rows of books off of the shelves and dumping them on the floor, but still, a major pain in the ass. You have my compliments. You're obviously doing a very good job of ignoring the boy, even seated at the computer as you are, almost directly facing him. I wouldn't be able to concentrate. I'd be constantly distracted by the noise, at least. Kudos. Then again, perhaps you've developed an immunity to these distractions. Perhaps at home he runs through the house, opening cupboards and excercising his superhuman strength on the mugs, showering the floor with broken plates and bowls. Maybe at the supermarket he leads the way for you, leaving a trail of unshelved cereal boxes, broken eggs... am I going too far? Sorry, it's just that everybody else is at lunch, and it shouldn't take my coming over and saying something when I have a spare moment to you to get you to acknowledge your child's presence and
fucking do something! If only for his own safety... rant rant rant.
