you reminded me of the time that I was out with Artemis and the kids. One of them got into a snit and was trying to throw a 'quiet' temper.

Artemis and I were the cash together and there was an older lady behind me. I finished my purchase turned to the two kids standing at the door and the defiant look on one of them. I said "outside", the defiant one attempted to stand their ground and got a much firmer "OUT" from me.

The door no sooner closed than the woman sniffed and made a remark about the way some people treat their kids these days. Artemis looked at her and said .. actually they are mine and you should be thankful their aunt is dealing with them outside.

Both Artemis and Ms Sniffypants walked out at the same time. As Artemis approached us waiting on the sidewalk the defiant one turned and apologized to her mother which generated a glare from Sniffypants. Guess she didn't like the outcome.
