Screaming Kid

>This is just a quick one, the local radio is asking what would you do with a child has tantrums when you're out shopping.

Toddler tantrums.

What would you do?  
If someone complained of your child to you.
Just because you're doing a food shop. 
And your floor hugging, screaming child will not stop.

Two things spring swiftly to my mind.  I'll tell you if you can spare the time

1.
First I would just look amazed.
And join my child, on the floor.
Screem a bit, wave my feet in the air. 
That should make them complainants stare.

2.
The other thing I might just do.
If I had enough of it.  Like you.
I put a pound/dollar in compliant's hand.
Then say keep him/her for half an hour.
Quickly get on with my food shop.
But collect my kid
I would not.

I'm joking really, I would only do 1.  Honest I would.  (The mad author)<
