[Martha]

I’m the mother of three boys 11-19 and it seems to be related to some wanting to ‘overcherish’ their kids – kind of the opposite of challenging them to grow up and suffer the minor inconveniences of life. Even worse – those supermarket carts that look like a half-ton carnival ride. I see parents pushing two and sometimes three able-bodied school-aged kids along with the groceries! They seem to think they ‘owe’ their kids the ride as a sort of a treat. I tried using those things when my now 11 and 12-year olds were toddlers and I suspect that’s what it’s like to drive a semi without power steering. What’s even worse is that people with older kids would use them all up so that people with younger, lighter and less mobile-trustworthy kids didn’t even have the option.

A friend (my age, sex, race, etc) was shopping and the black female clerk called her ‘Miss Lady?’ to get her attention. My friend and I both loved this appellation and would appreciate it no matter who called us that! Some might be offended but we liked the idea of being ‘Miss Lady.’
