leave the babies at home

as if Christmas shopping isn't bad enough..
with the traffic, the parking, the chaos..
people bring their babies to the mall
and stress us out with the strollers and crying
they stress themselves out too
trying to fit in aisles they don't fit in
dropping bottles and toys everywhere

those poor kids are cranky, tired and over it.
they don't belong there.

i get that everyone might not have the option
of leaving the kid home with grandma
but its sad to see little kids being yelled at
by parents when they didn't ask to be there anyway.
