This is a random post, not really, because it is all too frequent that you see a child on the train in NYC misbehaving e.g. stepping on the seat, kicking the rider adjacent to them, screaming and yelling at their parents, and the worst ones run around the train while the parent sits idly by and if you were to knock them down by mistake justifiably you will probably be issued a scream down or depending on the ratchetness* of the parent it may be an instant beat down.
People tell me, "You will see when you have your own..." Will I really though? I remember vaguely being a toddler but more vividly being a preteen/adolescent and I behaved on the train or I was wooped swiftly upon exit of said train or I was wooped upon entry of said residence. You are going to hate me for this one.
I believe it is cultural, I'll leave it at that, maybe I mean other things. I mean, I see non minority... fuck it... white children on the train sitting peacefully (yes there is the occasional brat) on the train next to their nanny or parent, some are doing nothing but sitting civilly, some are reading a book or being read too or some have headphones in their ears listening to god knows what but not being a nuisance to the fellow rider either sitting or standing adjacent or in front of them.
So the other kids, black, spanish, not so much asian... I've been riding the train a lot for those who want to say you haven't seen every kid, and you are right I haven't but I've seen enough. The child is fidgeting back and forth in the seat between a seated position and a kneeled staring into black tunnel position out the window kicking you while you're trying to meditate or close your eyes and enjoy your kanye or Adele. What is this parent doing... just sitting there without a care in the world as if they aren't responsible for this said minor's actions, as if they might as well had be kicking and elbowing you since they are letting their said offspring do it.
Ding ding, that's it, they are doing nothing. They are not proactive, they are dead. Who knows what this child gets away with at home... They are probably eating candy at 12:00 AM and watching Family Guy. And we wonder why "kids" are on the train dancing around and flipping on bars like if its dancing with the stars underground edition, instead of studying the algebra that they can't stand and hate and is going to keep them back grade by grade and ultimately lead to them dropping out of high school and becoming part of the scores of uneducated youth that are on a path to unmentionable decades of oblivion.
Moral of the story... Control your kids... Control your f***ing kids... key word is "kids." They are not adults, they are not 18, they cannot drink or get high as yet, control them while you can. You are going to wonder why you cannot control them at 13 and 14, I have an explanation, you thought it was okay to forego control as a toddler due to the poor and lackadaisical excuse of "they're just kids" "kids will be kids" "You'll see when you have your own you don't understand."
I will make this clear I understand perfectly, you're lazy and you're kid will be worse than you, because your offspring will either be better than you or horribly WORSE.
That was fucking random. Thanks for reading if you hung on the whole way. Will be back with some more random shit, do not know when, BECAUSE IT IS RANDOM. LOL. :)
