CHEWED OUT BY THE CROSSING GUARD — by Steve Nadis
My daughter and I were late this morning getting to her bus stop, and I stepped into the street to get a view of the approaching bus to see if it was hers rather than one of the others that follow the same route. A crossing guard scolded me for setting such a bad example for the children. She continued to harangue me after we’d walked past her on the way to the bus stop.
My 7-year-old told me not to feel so bad. The same crossing guard had also insulted our friend’s dog, calling him a “cur” or some such slur. My daughter also suggested that I take a different route home to avoid another interaction with the irascible guard. But I told her that would be the cowardly way out and that I’d better face the music.

Often the young ones have it right, Snake.
Sometimes it’s best just to avoid the idiots.
But if she continues to “harangue” people, you can always have a word w/ the school ’super’.
Ahhh.. the advantages of being a grown-up!
Thanks for the support, MP. I’m going to try to let the incident blow over & keep to my best behavior.
I hope you know that you’re on the naughty list now.
Yes WFW, marked for life…
