[QUOTE="witzend, post: 312113, member: 99"] One time when L was about 8 and M was about 5 I was trying to quit. We'd gone grocery shopping and they were spatting at each other the entire time. Nothing I could say or do would make them stop. We got all the groceries in the cart and through the check-out line, and for some reason I had cash to pay for them but no money in the checking account so I didn't bring the checkbook. This was before debit cards. Except the cash wasn't in my purse. So I drag these two gutter snipes back into the car, and start driving home with no food for the family for the weekend and they're screaming at each other. I'm sure the money's gone and we're going to go hungry. Mind you, when I get up the nerve to yell, there's no mistaking that I am angry. I told them that if they didn't shut up I'd put them out on the street and make them walk home. We were about a mile and a half from home and we lived in one of the worst neighborhoods in the city. Needless to say, when I got my $$$ I bought some smokes. (I think it was in a coat pocket.) Better to smoke a Virginia Slim than to let a 5 year old walking home through the slums and ask a working girl for directions. [/QUOTE]
