I think a lot of people identify themselves as PP and don't necessarily mean they are the immediate PP.

Yes...I'm 8:53 and identified myself as PP because I was a prior poster...I wasn't pretending to be 8:32.

I think it is safe to say that every single human being alive has behaved this way before. So for all those who say "parents don't want to admit their precious kids can do something like this" -- I think it's the opposite. To act like it is outrageous behavior is just silly.

I have two kids -- one is really sensitive and shy and the other is really outgoing and will talk to anybody. Neither of them have any problem playing with other kids they meet at the park for the first time, and obviously the other kids don't either. And it's not always smooth sailing. It's something good to know how to do. A good way for the father to have handled it would have been to say to his son, "remember when you did this to so and so? Now you know how he felt" or to bring it up as a reminder the next time he blocks some other kid from going down the slide himself. NOT to act like some huge injustice had just been done.

Lots of guessing and surmising and wondering and assuming and nothing about the facts on this thread. This is ri-damn-diculous.
