(Make sure she sings a bit louder next time round)<br>I hate these types of people. Obviously they don't remember what it was like to be a child, and probably not exactly how awful their own children were. You let that girl sing! (Make sure she sings a bit louder next time round)

I wonder what else makes them miserable... rainbows, gumdrops, and peace on earth?

I cannot get over the audacity of some people. Just yesterday we were in a craft store and my daughter had her hand on something near the counter. Yes, she could have knocked it over but I was right there. The old hag behind us in line must have taken my daughter's hand off the item when I wasn't looking and then told her no no. I looked at the woman, as did my daughter. The woman looked at me and said, "Your daughter just gave me a dirty look." I said, "Well, you touched her and you don't know her. I would do the same." She just looked at me like I had taken a knife and cut out her kidneys. I just don't get people! Seriously!

I have never commented before but I just think you are doing such a great job, as a woman AND as a mother. I'm a preschool teacher and I love it when I hear children singing. Anywhere. It's such a wonderful form of self-expression. She will learn to sing when she's happy. Sing when she's sad. Sing when she's bored. How wonderful is that? You should have just stood in front of that man and woman and started singing the Barney song... "I love you...You love me...We're a happy family..." What assholes they were.

You handled the situation perfectly. And this post nearly made me cry (damn..... I cry a lot these days!), because I was that "perfect" child who never said a word and was always praised for being so well behaved. Why was I so well behaved? Because I was scared shitless that if I did anything childlike I would get beaten or just yelled at (my mother can be a very scary lady). Too this day I'm still a pushover because I'm scared. I'm soooooooo happy that your encouraging Isobel to be the sort of creative, wonderful little girl she's supposed to be. You are a terrific mother.

Those are the "get off my lawn" types. They have no business in any public place. I'd much rather listen to children singing than listen to an old fart lament about the good old days. Gah! And I'm just in the mood that I would have made a total scene of the jerkishness.
