Children Not Taught Simple Math
I was standing in line at Dollar General, buying some milk and cookies. There was a cute little girl who could not have been more than 7 years old in front of me. She seemed so sad. She got to the counter and had a pair of slippers, way too big for her. She placed them on the counter, and when the cashier rang her up, she was 50 cents short. She looked back at me with big blue eyes, tearing up. She said she was getting the slippers for her mother, who was in the hospital and may not make it. It would be an early Christmas present. I looked to the cashier who was also beginning to tear up. I asked if she could hurry up and cancel the sale, I was really in a hurry to go eat my milk and cookies.
I can only hope that if the mother wasn't in the hospital, she would have spanked her for holding up the line.
It is unbelievable that kids can't count these days.
