I rushed out to Kmart (which i hate) to get some last minute needed things for my gym date (which i ended up not getting to attend because of work), and while shopping there encountered the absolute worst behaved child I have ever seen in public or otherwise. It was mesmerizing. I was truly impressed that such a child had lived to his current age and not been treated earlier on to a fatal beating.



I must admit I found him fascinating in a sick train-wreck kind of way. I wandered around the store in his vicinity for a bit, taking in the sheer magnitude of his absolute atrociousness, until I found him right next to me, yelling to someone in his party another aisle over, and I spoke quietly to him:



"Have you seen that movie with Harry Potter?"

Puzzled look that a strange adult would be addressing him, then mumbling, "Yeah."

"Do you remember his cousin, the one who got the pig's tail put on him by magic?"

"Yeah."

"He wasn't very nice, was he?"

"No."

"Did you know you act just like him?"

Blank stare. Runs away after a moment. Is much quieter the rest of his shopping trip.



I must be evil, but that was darn fun. I'd say I deserve a Diana Trent Award for that one.



I MUST MUST MUST start using the caller ID on the phone after working hours.
