    Be The Baby-Change You Want To See In The World

    I used to do product demos at a big-box store. I am not an employee of the store but an outside vendor.

    Today, I am handing out coupons near the baby clothes. I return from break and as I am getting the coupons back out, I notice a woman taking her baby from the carrier and laying it on some of the baby clothes on a shelf.

    The woman starts to change the kid’s diaper!

    I try to call out, but she either can’t hear me or ignores me, as she finishes the changing, and leaves.

    I flag down the nearest employee I can find, but by the time I do, the woman is out of sight. I explained what happened and point out which displayed unit she did it on.

    Employee: Defeated sigh. “Thanks for telling us. At least they took the dirty diaper with them this time.”

    Some people are such inconsiderate pigs.

    I used to bring in the mail when I was a kid. If I had misbehaved particularly badly, my father would request a pamphlet from a military academy in Missouri. I would get it in the mail about a week later.

    Wow. She hasn’t even committed a noodle incident.

    So she goes to a public school that requires uniforms?

    I get solicitations from local private high schools all the time, despite not having any kids. These schools assure me that I should donate to them anyway…

    Unless Barney requested it without telling them, this is awfully dishonest on someone’s part.
