[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s not totally wrong about swans. They can be really mean. I think I have an appropriate level of fear of swans. [/quote]

Farmer here: swans are NOT nice.  Not a bad thing if she is a bit scared of them!

Sounds like someone with a big personality trying to be entertaining.  My kids would have loved that.  Just not your kind of humor, and that is OK, but complaining is very Karen (and I don’t like that word).[/quote]

I agree that this could be a possibility. Many, perhaps slightly older, kids would be fascinated and happily thrilled by someone doing this. In the future, avoid his checkout line. If something like that happens again, you could say in a firm, straightforward manner something like  : “ My kids are a little too young for this kind of story”, and change the subject. (“Kiddo, can you hand me two oranges so they can get scanned.”)   I would only complain to a manager if I had first indicated to the associate that their conversation was not welcome.
