So tonight, on my way home from work I was a witness to someone that drank so much from the Stupid Cup she more than likely should have had “Stupid Cup” tattooed on her forehead.

I’m driving along the back road that I take to get home. I notice it’s fairly warm out and there are a lot of children out playing. The car in front of me is driving slow and so am I as to keep an eye on the playing children. I notice a small child about 6 or 7 riding his bike with his mother next to him. Now I don’t know about you but when I was a kid my mom always kept me on the inside of the sidewalk. The car in front of me slammed on his brakes because the child decided to pull out into the middle of the road. Now this is the conversation that took place.

Motorist Mike - Hey Kid please watch where you are going, you could have been hit

Moron Mom - HEY YOU IDIOT WATCH OUT FOR MY KID, HE’S RIDING HIS BIKE IN THE ROAD.

Motorist Mike now stops in the middle of the road and voices are much much louder.

Motorist Mike- Lady are you Friggin Kidding me, Pay Attention to your Kid.

Moron Mom - Go to hell, if you were paying attention it wouldn’t be an issue

Motorist Mike - (Now Screaming) Hey Lady, Since I’m your kids Babysitter I want 30 bucks an hour.

Now usually an interruption of this sort would have sent me over the falls after a full days work, but the humor and stupidity of Moron Mom was just to entertaining to be mad.

As Motorist Mike slowly drove away, he looked at the small child and said “please be careful, because your Mom is to stupid to look after you”.

Now I am not a parent, but I was raised with a very very attentive Mother. This type of situation didn’t happen in my family. If I darted into the road, I would have been quickly brought to safety and then spoken to or disciplined. Through my travels I have seen situations like this more and more over the last few years. I truly feel that some parents do not know how to control their children. I have seen kids throwing food on airplanes at other passengers. Parents did nothing. It’s not my responsibility to baby sit your kid, It’s not my problem if you have some type of attention disorder where you can’t control your child, find HELP. Parents of the world, reflect back to when you were a child, would you get away with half of the crap your kids do today. I bet not!!!

I wish I had a “Stupid Cup” t-shirt with me today, because as Motorist Mike drove away I think I would have tossed it out to Moron Mom. Maybe she would have actually gotten the message, but I seriously doubt it.
