[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty early on...it's not the worst thing that was done to me, but it was the moment I knew. I was 4 or 5.

My mom used to take me to the grocery store most days, and kids would get to pick a cookie from the dessert case without charge. My mom would take me to the bakery and the woman working would ask me what I wanted, and then get it from the case and hand it to me in wax paper to eat in the store.

And as soon as we left the store, my mom would yell at me about how I always had to pick the cookie that was hardest to reach for that poor bakery lady. How I wasted her time by taking too long to decide. How I told which one I wanted and then inconvenienced her by changing my mind.

I always wondered why she cared more about that bakery woman than me..... [/quote]

Uh oh...she may have been trying to teach you to have consideration for others and be polite. Maybe there was a line and you were holding other customers up. I care deeply about my children, but could reasonably do something like this to teach them to thin about others in the right circumstances.[/quote]
