Someone needs to censor me.

So I was having a "hormonal day" OK i was annoyed with no reason. I made the mistake of going to Winco in this state but hey the dog needed food. So we were in the bulk section (because we don't love the dog enough to buy good dog food) and I went to work getting the bag and starting to get the dog food.

I told Dexter, age 4, he could use the tongs and get a pig ear for the dog as well. At this point a very well behaved Dexter was doing as asked and a worker came out from the back. He barked at Dexter who is 4, "Don't Play In There!" There were 2 main problems here. 1. If a small child is near his mother a grown ogre, i mean man, has no business talking to them directly. 2. He was doing nothing inappropriate ( used tongs and was not spilling or touching anything.

My normal response is to hit the ignore button. Today was no ordinary day. With the man right there I was begging my id to not speak but my super ego lost today. I said, "You see that boys? You never want to behave like that man. He must have no authority at work or at home and feels the need to exert power over people he perceives as weaker than him in an effort to make him feel big. All it does is prove he is a very very weak man." Finally got a hold of myself to see a red faced man walk into the back.

Sorry Winco guy but you have no real need to yell at my 4 year old when I am right there. If he was acting poorly you should speak with me and then at your own risk as I am 6 months pregnant.
