Well, not really, but from what I have observed, apparently some parents think so. A few nights ago, Tom and I went out to eat with some friends. A young woman came in with two children and sat in the booth behind us. She put the baby in a high chair and her other child, approximately five years old, sat across from her and was misbehaving. She proceeded to hiss loudly at him about how awful he was and, through gritted teeth, hatefully proclaimed how terribly he was acting. i can't imagine why, but he wanted to sit by her and she rudely told him she didn't want him to because he crowded her, blah, blah, blah. It really was pitiful to witness. Oh, how that woman will pay for her hatefulness.
Then, overheard in Walgreens tonight:
Little girl, about eight years old, wearing flip flops, following her dad to the back of the store, "slap, slap, slap" went her shoes.
Father, glancing back and with a hateful tone of voice, "Stop walking like that with those shoes, that slapping is driving me crazy!"
Little girl quietly adjusts her walking so that there is no slapping sound, "squeak, squeak, squeak" went her shoes.
Father, again with a hateful voice, "now I hear that awful squeaking!"
Hello, what should your little girl do, crawl through the store so she doesn't annoy you with any footsteps?

WOW! People can be so mean..and you are right..they will pay for it later and because they are so stupid..they won't even realize its THEIR fault. I'm surprised you didn't say something. Even if it was to say it loudly to no-one in particular.
I had on flip flops myself and seriously considered walking all around the store letting my flip flops slap loud.
yep..I definitely would have done that..maybe smacking on some gum too. I mean, seriously..why does he think they call them "flip-flops" idiot.
