An open letter to that guy

that yelled at his toddler in the bar tonight.

I have some questions for you:
1. Why were your kids aged 7 and under awake at 9:30pm?
2. Why were your kids in a BAR at 9:30pm?
3. Why would you not expect a three year old to spill ketchup?

I also have a few points to make. The use of "G-----m you" at the top of your voice in a public place to a three year old child is
1. Degrading to your child. I'll be surprised if the kid doesn't turn out to be a felon. I'm praying that he doesn't. I can see your mother-in-law didn't buy your useless excuses, and I hope the next time you "beat his a--" like you informed us all that you do, that she turns you over to CPS. Or finds someone to kick yours.
2. Rude to the other patrons of the bar. Regardless of who you were speaking to or what you were saying, screaming explosively like that just told everyone that you are (a) a mean drunk and (b) unable to control yourself. Way to go! I only wish there was a bouncer, since the young Irish folks tending the bar were obviously too scared of your 400 lbs to throw you out.
and last, but most certainly not least
3. An insult to me and my God. This is what caught my attention and made me turn around to glare. Lucky for you, you were too focused on spilled ketchup to notice that everyone was staring. I was hoping you'd say something to me, because I'd have read you the riot act (as posted here) and dared you to make a move toward me.

I know there are only about three people who read this blog and this will never make it back to that guy, but I just hope if someone who berates their children or uses my God's name in vain reads this, they'll realize the error of their ways. I'm not betting on it, but then I'm not a bettor, I'm a pray-er.

So there.

PS, for the wife of this gem of a man. How many times has he spoken this way to you? Hit you? Did you really think he wouldn't treat your children that way too? Do you think that is how they'll treat their families some day? Well it is, and you're just as liable for that as he is. Get OUT.
