little kids and there parents

ok so i am sick of little kid and how they act. like the other day i was at the shop and i there was a mum with three kids all between 4-8. so there little kids were running crazy trowing things off shelves, pushing each other and shouting. now what i would have done (and how the problem should have been handled) is hit the kids across the ass and tell them to stop. now what was done is she knelt down do the kids level and asked the in a weird polite but stressed voice "can you pleas stop" the kid replied by hitting her across the face. now what i would have done is hit him back. but what she done is say in that odd voice "that was not nice" the kid then stomped off. when she court him she then told him "if you behave i will by you a present" the kid said no then the mother said "i will buy you a big present". so if you kid is miss behaving you do not offer the gifts it ends with them thinking the way they are behaving is right. this is just one example of kid and there parents. i don't blame the kids as much as i blame the parents. what parents don't realize is that the threat of pain works better the pain so if you hit them hard once the threat will work better then really hitting them.

my birthday

ok so today is my birthday and i have had an epiphany and it is that i don't care that it is my birthday. the way i see it is that there is two way to look at your birthday and there are as follows:
1. you can look at in a happy way celebrate the fact you are a year older.
2. or you can look back on your last year with total distant and come to the conclusion that your last year really sucked grit your teeth and hope the new year is better.
next thing is generic birthday questions. this is how your average birthday conversation goes
birthday person: hello
ringer: happy birthday birthday person  how has your day been?
birthday person: good.
ringer: what did you get?
birthday person: oh gift, gift and gift.
ringer: oh thats good.
birthday person: yer
ringer: well have a good day
birthday person: thanks you to.
that is the basic birthday conversation one or two thing might very but that is the lay out all birthday phones calls and person to person conversations will always go. this pisses me off.
I don't mean to sound spoiled but birthdays are over rated unneeded and annoying thing to do (but watch next year i will be saying the complicit opposite to every thing i just said)
