[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 490251, member: 1514"] I saw a scene yesterday in Walmart that made a huge impression on me. As we started toward the registers we could hear this toddler throwing one heck of a fit. Screaming, crying, just throwing down. Billy and I looked at each other and I said "Oh someone is very unhappy!" When we actually got up to the register we could see what was going on, it was a woman in one of those hoveround scooters with a little girl who looked around age three just throwing down a fit. The woman obviously couldnt chase the toddler anywhere because she stuck in the chair. The woman had the little girl by the hand but the way the little girl was throwing down they couldnt move anywhere because she was flopping down in front of the scooter. Several people did stop to offer help but the woman assured them she could handle it. I was amazed with how she did. She never let go of the little girl, nor did she give in to her demands. She just calmly talked to her and told her she wasnt getting her way and she had to pull herself together so they could leave the store. Within about 10 minutes the show was over and they left with the child walking beside the woman. Im convinced if that woman gave in, those fits would happen every time she went into a store. That had to be extremely hard. bravo. [/QUOTE]
