WE WERE AT THE YORK FAIR, AND WHILE WE WERE WALKING AROUND, I SPOT THIS LADY NEARBY. IN ONE HAND, SHE'S HOLDING HER BABY, WHO COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE THAN TWO YEARS OLD, AND IN HER OTHER HAND, A LIT CIGARETTE. NOW, ALREADY, THAT'S PRETTY BAD, BUT THEN, SHE TAKES THE CIGARETTE, FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT REASON, AND HANDS IT TO THE BABY. A LIT, SMOKING CIGARETTE. THE BABY SNIFFS IT, AND PLAYS WITH IT. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT IDIOT? ALREADY SECOND HAND SMOKE WAS BAD ENOUGH FOR THAT POOR KID, BUT THEN SHE JUST HANDED IT A CIGARETTE? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND GIVES A BABY A CIGARETTE? HOW IRRESPONSIBLE CAN YOU GET?
I FOUGHT THE URGE TO WALK UP TO HER AND SNATCH HER KID FROM HER HANDS. CREATING A SCENE WOULD HAVE TAUGHT HER A LESSON THOUGH, BUT I HELD BACK. I LINGERED WITH MY FAMILY, AND STARED AT HER WITH BOILING HATRED. MY HANDS WERE TREMBLING FROM IT, ALL RED AND CLENCHED IN FISTS OF PURE RAGE.
WHAT. AN. IDIOT.
