I will tell any blood relation to me to quit actin up in a minute, and probably most black kids too, but I just don't feel comfortable talking to "other" people's kids for some reason.

I will tell a child that is kicking me in the seat on a plane to stop kicking me in a second...in front of the parent. Never had a problem b/c the parents are usually embarassed and don't try to defend that foolishness.

Shoot, I had to tell this young boy of about 12 or 13 to say excuse me when he kept reaching over my food to get napkins at the checkout line at the movies last week. It's not my fault - his Mother should have trained him. I figure if she won't do it, I will b/c I don't want him just out there not knowing how to conduct himself.

Am I the only one training other people's kids? LOL.

LOL

I'm scared to tell other people's children to behave, especially in front of their parents. Black parents would probably curse me out, and white parents would probably call the cops.

I SO agree it takes a village.

When I worked retail, I had no problem giving someone acting like Bay-Bay's kids THE LOOK. If I am shopping in the grocery store, I still have a tendency to give bad azzed kids THE LOOK
