Lately I've been noticing a strange custom that seems only to preside in the western world. The custom of offering one's annoying child to a complete stranger, be it for 1 night or otherwise. In fact just yesterday a woman I had never met me before gestured to her crying child and asked me: "You wanna take him for the night?"
Can I count the ways that this is wrong?
Well for starters:
Your child is obviously a little brat, why would I want it?
Which leads to the question:
Why don't parents of nice quiet babies try to give them away to me?
Lest we forget how rude this looks to foreigners:
"Zee Canadians only try to give zeir bad children avay to strangers. Zey are so selfish with Zeir obedient young."
Seriously though people. Next time I may take you up on it, truly your child will learn better manners from me. Strangers deserve to be offered all of our children, not just the badly behaved ones.
