Misplaced Advice
I was in the cue for the till at my local newsagents and there was a 7 or 8 year old brother and sister spending their pocket money on fizzy pop and sweets (like the good old days). The thing is this 50 year old woman was lecturing them quite strongly on how bad these drinks are for their health, e numbers, monkey pee, tooth rotting amounts of sugar, whatever, she didn't make it sound good. I thought she had a point and as their mother she had every right to voice her opinion.

Thing is she wasn't their mum...

Mid lecture, and for some reason quite worked up, she turned to the assistant and asked for 40 B&H, paid for them and then with a stroppy nicotine stained flourish shouted at poor little sods "why don't you just grow up!?". She then coughed her way out the door and along the street, leaving them standing there open mouthed but hopefully thinking "WHAT!? Grow up and become like you?" Don't let me down kids...
