The other night while eating at the cafe where my boyfriend works, this rather large black woman dressed in a “people of Walmart” type of outfit came stumbling in with her 3- or 4-year old son. She was beyond inebriated and could barely keep her eyes open. Oh, and let me add that she came in smoking her cigarette. My boyfriend politely mentioned there’s no smoking inside the cafe, and she gave him the snapping-turtle hand gesture and said “you don’t get to tell me what to do” and placed her cigarette on the counter, still lit. Her little boy wanted an ice cream, which she was unable to say herself. The boy was chanting “ice cream! ice cream!” While she got a pink lemonade from the fridge, her son had run into the back where my BF prepares the food and makes the ice cream, and this oh-so-wonderful mother was too sloshed to even notice. I had the misfortune of watching her pour out half of her pink lemonade into the trash and fill up the rest with a small flask of vodka. Great role model. Great mother. I shake my head in disgust at people like that.

Some people really need to apply to be able to have children. Those who aren’t suitable parents should be required to have hysterectomies and vasectomies. Too many unfit mothers are having too many babies who are then raised poorly and usually end up following in the footsteps of their parents. The viscious cycle continues…
