let's all admit that every one of us has had that nearly uncontrollable urge to strangle some out of control brat whose mother seemed either unable or unwilling to discipline her child. it's kind of surprising that more people don't just snap and go on killing sprees in local nursery schools and day-care centers. we may know it's totally irrational to blame toddlers for their parents' lack of responsibility and respect for those around them, but sometimes violence seems to be the only way to curb these self-centered breeders and to be almost justified. of course most of us will never act on such atrocious urges, but we can daydream - can't we.
