Ignore the kid

I met with a kid today, and really, I don't get the point. They cannot walk, not speak, they scream and yet demands attention at all times. Plus if you leave them alone for one second, they break something.

This particular one was screaming while sitting next to me in the back seat of a car (yes, I was denied the front seat since it was full of baby paraphernalia), and screaming, tears running. I ignored. And whaddayaknow, a few minutes later she stopped. I bet it was because I ignored her, and didn't care. I knew she was fed and changed, and didn't have a reason whatsoever to scream.

Later I thought what the hell, let's give it a go, so that I can at least seem to be half-interested (and after having a song-book shoved in my face by the mother), I decided to teach her some songs including the appropriate movements. But I gotta tell you, itsy bitsy spider doesn't do it for me anymore.

Nah, I'll wait until she grows up. Then I'll teach her a thing or two. She already seemed to be interested in my cig pack and my glass of wine. There's hope yet.
