7and8

8 and I are in the checkout lane at the grocery. This relic gets in line behinds us and intices 8 into a little conversation. It went something like this (mind you there is no way in hell grandma could understand what he was saying):

"Hi little boy."
"Hi"
"Did you get a lot of Trick or Treat candy?"
"Yea, but Beans got on the counter and ate it all."
"Hmm, really. Did you get a lot of Trick or Treat candy?"
"Yea, but Beans got on the counter and ate it all."
"You know what, I can tell you are going to have a lot of cavaties and then you'll have a Mom who is angry."

Who does this Wicked Witch thing she is. I decided clocking her on Sr. Citzens double coupon day would be out of decorum. I came very close to saying, "Thanks a lot. His Mother is dead and now I'm going to have to explain why you said Mommy is angry at him."
Really! Where do some people get off. Now I understand mercy killing, it's for our mercy in some cases.
