Overheard in the waiting room of a Criminal Court:
Mother to her out-of-control 2 year old (while she continues a 45 minute phone conversation):
You'd better stop being bad. See all these policemen. They will arrest you. That's what they do. Sometimes for no reason. But you're bad, so they'll arrest you for sure!
And I am biting my tongue soooooo hard to prevent blurting out - Get off your stupid phone, you dumb cow!

Your next post would be from the ER.

It would be worth it. She kept coming back in from the hallway (still talking on her phone) without the kid. I assumed someone was out in the hallway with her. Ummmmm no, she just kept leaving the toddler out there.
Justice - the kid just peed all down the front of her.

Bozo chick with the neglected kid update:
They wouldn't let her in the actual courtroom with a screaming 2-year-old. She was waiting for her sister to come and pick up the little girl.
Like it wouldn't have been prudent to have made those arrangements before hand.

If she had made arrangements beforehand there was zero chance of the kid getting lost while she was neglecting her.

What irked me the most was her blatant maligning of the cops to her toddler - in front of an officer. Don't taint your kid's view of the Police, because you're a no-goodnick.
The Court Officer also had to remind her that she'd neglected to get her prints done - so she was clearly in Criminal Court on her own charges, rather than being a much aggrieved S.O.

Were you wearing a shirt that said, "I don't belong here...I'm just here to judge you."

Yeah, that did sound a little judgemental. Maybe even a lot judgemental. I assume everyone is as guilty as Mark. My bad.
I stick with my assertion however, that you don't say bad things about the "law" in the "law's house" to a toddler. Children need to be able to trust the police.

I completely agree with you. I was actually going to offer you my shirt to borrow - I wear it to the DMV.

I thought you were calling me on the carpet for being a judgemental B - which clearly, I can be.
I hate court. Ski was so close to traveling down that road himself, that at one point I envisioned years of what my mom put up with. As it was, he pled guilty (because as he said, he was guilty), took his punishment like a man, and hasn't gone down that road again in the past four years.
Phew.

I don't call anyone out on being judgmental. I'm the queen. Quick story: I took the kids to a water park a few years back and spent the day mentally judging everyone and their swimsuit choice. I mean I was brutal. They make swimsuits appropriate for tons of different body types. Not everyone can or should wear a string bikini or speedo. Midway through the day I noticed that my beautifully tasteful black halter top one piece was on inside out. Yup folks - inside out. The lining was also black so I didn't notice. The judge-er had become the judge-ee. You would think it would have taught me a lesson. It did not.
Oh and by the way - I know there are bad seeds in every occupation and walk of life but on the whole - what the police do - literally putting their lives at risk for the safety of the masses (especially recently here in NY) - that's something that deserves respect.

I've worn shirts inside out in public a couple of times. One time I noticed, in a restaurant, and changed in the bathroom. The other time I didn't realize it until I was home later. 
Other people must have noticed but been too polite to either tell me or point and laugh at me.

I'll make you a deal - I'll point out your inside out shirt, and you let me know about the lettuce stuck in my teeth.I've worn shirts inside out in public a couple of times. One time I noticed, in a restaurant, and changed in the bathroom. The other time I didn't realize it until I was home later.

He doesn't do it much anymore but my son used to put his pajama shirt on backwards at least 3 times a week. Any time the shirt didn't have a graphic image that belonged on the front it was on backwards.
I ALWAYS tell people when they have food stuck in their teeth. Or something in their hair.

Teeth, yes. Hair, maybe not. I've seen Something About Mary. (I gagged a little just thinking about that scene.)
Son #1 went through a couple of years where seams irritated his skin (socks especially), so he wore a lot of clothes inside out, right up until he started school.
