Rotten, Rotten Children

We've all seen them.  There's always That Kid in Target who does the throw down temper tantrum, screaming for his mom to buy him that new electronic Big Foot toy that's 2 ft. tall, really obnoxious, and will hold a toddler's attention for all of 5 minutes.  That Kid usually comes with That Parent that promises him "said toy" or something else just as good just to shut him up, instead of dragging him out of the store by his thrashing little heels.  It's the circle that makes baby boomers today say things like "back in my day..." and "if that was my kid..." and the first words that come out of most of our mouths are "spoiled rotten."


Being new parents, we've gotten all kinds of tips and advise.  And according to some of our elders, we're probably spoiling our kid.  But her little cry breaks our hearts and so I guess we've got a spoiled child.  It's a good thing she's only 6 weeks old, because I don't think babies can experience too much coddling.  What we will find out in time is if she's just spoiled, or if she's spoiled rotten...I dunno, she smells ok to me...

YAY! A smile!
