I've got a headache

"I've got a headache."  That's what she said and that's exactly what I was thinking too.  But she ( a customer in the store) could have done something about it, like making her 6 year old stop repeating the song ABCDEFG... over and over and over and over and over (seriously).  She could also have responded at least once to the many shouts/whines "MOM!!!look a this!  MOM!!! can I have this? MOM!!!Where are you??" from her 9 year old daughter.  Me, all I could do was offer a knowing smile and shrug to the other, clearly annoyed customers in the store (leaving so soon?).  So well over an hour into this joyful shopping experience the saintly, silent Grandmother (MOM's Mom?) took the six year old out to the car,  I switched the too lively salsa music that was playing to a super mellow meditative mix (why didn't I think of this sooner?)  and the atmosphere instantly went from chaos to serenity now ( I actually found myself repeating ala Kramer, with similar results) and after another half an hour, she says she's got a headache. No wonder!  After dawdling over her minuscule purchase at the register for another five minutes while the nine year old pleaded/whined for the tenth time (no exaggeration) "MOM, can we just leave? Please?" She paid up and said/threatened "I'm just going to have to come back later, I've got a headache".  Yup, me too, but mine walked out the door and she got in the car with hers....

Peace to the planet
