This Little White Kid Right Here Should Have Had His Azz Beaten!!!

Sorry for the blurry picture but it is all that I could manage while walking.

These 3 people were sitting in front of me on a plane. (There is a 2 year old or so little kid being carried by the mom).

The little kid kept standing up on the seats and playing peek-a-boo with me. Cute kid, until he slobbered and I had to move my leg. :)

The kid on the right is about 11 years old. At some point his little brother got on his nerves and he did something to make the little one cry.

Immediately after that his mother started yelling at him. He then said something smart to her and she raised her hand and slapped him in the chest. He started hitting her back.
She then struck him again. He grabbed her arm.

He then said "You Don't Control Me!!!!"

I sat back and thought "Oh boy you are dead now!!!"

She got him to release her arm and then continued her words to him.

I know for sure that the Black woman who was sitting next to them, across the isle joined me in my assumption that this woman was going to stand up and slap this boy across the head several times. This is because this is what our mothers would have likely done if everything else was equal.

You don't embarrass your mother in public like this.

Nothing happened.

Somehow, minutes later mother and son were talking again as if it never happened.

Fast forward about 30 minutes later.
This kid started playing with his seat belt buckle. It was getting on my nerves.
His mother told him to stop.

I am sure that some of you reading this are parents. This boy got one list click in AS she was telling him to stop.

He then stopped.
Then he did it again about 8 seconds later. As a parent you know they are testing you. He just violated what she told him to do.

I was ready to stand up and say to the boy "Sit down and SHUT UP!!! I am tired of your mess and your backtalk". This wasn't my battle though.

Had my son did that one last click - it would have been grounds for a beating. He tested her will and HE WON.

Then she said "And you wonder why I slap you".


Had I done any of this I would have gotten "wailed upon" on the spot by my mother. I would have been operating on a preemptive basis - knowing that if I were to do these things she would have embarrassed me in front of all of these people.

Then when I got home - she would have told my father and then I would have gotten a beating with his 2 inch wide belt.

Clearly this young boy doesn't have a strong father figure in his life because there is no way in hell that he would be acting this way if he had fear of the consequences for doing what he did.
