That one sure was. It’s overused. You guys act like you were the first ones to come up with it.
Amen about ER stories!
Yeah, I agree. Extra mag at least for this kind of AO!
Mall’s per my take of recent visits to big cities that have em are unsupervised day care centers where kids too young to drive yet old enough to be trusted by parents to go out with a curfew etc by themselves.
They move in packs, among shoppers, are nothing but trouble for mall cops and businesses and are a sad state of affairs that some parents KNOW this is a free baby sitter service that relies on adults shopping, employees and rent a cops or off duty PD acting as mall security to handle their out of control rug rats and linoleum lizards and curtain crawlers !
They play lord of the flies per se , establishing their pecking order, cliques, gangs, posse or whatever they call themselves in the next few minutes.
Last mall I went to was 14 years ago so I could be mistaken......but malls IMO are senior citizens walk parks for exercise during the day and baby sitting zoos after school.
We don’t do malls .......:o)
Stay safe !
And my fourteen year old daughter is rather embarrassed that I won’t let her hang out at the mall with her friends and no parents or older siblings around to provide a little supervision or security.
Show her my post so she knows what folks think of kids that hang out at malls......... most teens just think it’s THEIR parents that don;t want em there !
I think she has a great parent that steers her around trouble .......she just may not know it yet !....;o)
stay safe !
