I have a Super Power that let’s me pick the slowest grocery checkout lane. It’s 99% effective. Today was no different with the exception of the man behind my teenage son and I. We are patiently waiting for the 3 people ahead of us including the store’s receipt printer needing a reboot and generally just poking each other in a playful manner to pass the time, when I hear behind me some man mumble something about us two “playing grabass” at least twice before I turned around to acknowledge his attitude and thought that was the end of it. Then someone got in line behind him and he complained again about us playing “grabass”. The line wasn’t moving and we were having a good time.
This will not be the last time my son and I poke each other but I would like it to be the last time someone impatient takes it out on us. Some examples to have on hand the next time someone tries to boss how I spend time with my kid?

Old white men complaining about things that dont even remotely affect them at all, a tale as old as time.
As one of the afore mentioned group, but not inconsiderate or derogatory as the examples provided. I have done the same and similar with my one son in line and received similar treatment. As a man I suggested that they could simply change lines as we were also waiting for our turn to check out as well.
