[quote=Anonymous]Today at the grocery store there were two elementary school-aged brothers screaming at each other, throwing things, and just being awful. I wondered where a parent or some adult in charge was, and then I heard their mom yelling behind me, from about 20 feet away from her boys: "STOP SCREAMING AT EACH OTHER NOW!!!!! BE QUIET!!!!! YOU ARE TERRIBLE!!!! I'VE TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE AND LOOK YOU ARE PROVING IT TO EVERYONE IN THIS STORE!!!!!" They ignored her, and she just walked away to go look for shredded cheese or whatever and just let them keep destroying the store and fighting with each other for another 10 minutes before she dragged them to checkout. So...yeah. The behavior you model and enforce is the behavior you get back.[/quote]
