“Who’s down with OPC? Yeah, you know me!”
Posted by wayne on Sunday June 29, 2008
Okay, so I am stealing from Naughty By Nature’s song “OPP” from back in MY college days, but in this case it is “OPC”, as in Other People’s Children. And regardless of the lyric, I am often NOT down with it.
Don’t get me wrong; I think kids can be great. You know, when they are well-behaved, charming, wide-eyed, curious and when they are on a “time out”. What gets me is how the public behavior of OPCs is getting worse over time; I know if I had thrown a fit in a grocery store when I was a kid, that shopping trip was not going to last very long. It seems like most parents “back then” placed a priority on NOT BOTHERING THE CRAP OUT OF EVERYONE ELSE AROUND THEM and so they would leave the store and shop another time. The same for movies or restaurants; so what the hell happened? I say we go back to old school:
Thoughts?
