>> This guy really taught that kid a lesson.

Obviously the mother hasn’t. A little Irish Spring mouthwash applied immediately after the first curse word came out would have solved it for all times.

My mom threatened to was our mouths out with bleach so we learned early not to cuss like my Uncle!

The soap worked with our kids. Also left the restaurant once when one was whining, left another home from a sledding trip but took her sister and brother, and left a full cart of groceries once. Sort of a drag on us parents (”psst - hold the cart, I'll be back in ten minutes”) - but it only took once or twice for them to realize that whining for something/ about something was NOT GOING TO WORK.

And I think that their are certain SOCIAL rules that are learned for being in a community. One of those rules is that you don't go around swearing and screaming and whining about something. And if the parent isn't making an attempt and instilling those rules, well - then society needs to.

Growing up, more than once a total stranger would point out my unacceptable behavior while I played the part of being a goofball boy. Sitting on a “whoopee cushion” over and over again at the age of 13 or so in a McDonalds was one of those!

I suspect that is the only adjective the mother uses.
