Don't eavesdrop

Quick story today. I was on the Metra on the way home, and two ladies were loudly discussing a variety of subjects.

Well, I couldn't help but listen - in fact, I would have loved not to, as obnoxious as these women were. However, I did hear one tidbit about how they drug their kids to keep them from crying.

The woman's approximate words were: "When we go on a plane, I just give the kids some Benadryl to zonk them out and keep them from crying. I mean, I don't want to listen to them screaming for two hours." Oh, what's the problem, didn't have anything stronger around?

Yes, as a kid-hater myself, I joke about wanting to drug kids, or keep them in cages, etc. (If you think this is harsh, I think you should spend more time in supermarkets.) But even as a person who refers to children as "bacteria infested," I have to say that this was over the top.

That's all for now - though I might have good news about my summer job search very soon! More later.
