At the zoo…
Today, at the zoo, we walked past a family of about 4 adults & a bunch of kids, sitting on and standing around a bench. They were all involved in a variety of conversations.
Then, I hear them calling a child’s name & one of the adults ran across the path to the bear habitat, where a toddler was climbing up by the fence. When she got to him, she spanked him and then walked him back to the group.
So, a bunch of adults who are responsible for this child, who clearly doesn’t know that it’s dangerous to wander off or climb into a bear habitat, were so busy in their conversations that they didn’t notice him walk away, through the other people walking past & up onto the bear fence…
And, it was the child being punished?
Wish I could spank the people who really deserve it some times.
