LIRR escapades

I hate and love the LIRR. I hate how much it costs but I love the service. Today I had a situation where I was fortunate enough to sit next to a very loud, annoying little white girl. I was standing on the first train to Hicksville where I would then transfer to a Stony Brook train and I noticed a seat all the way at the other end of the car. So as I travel across the train, bumping people with my backpack as I pass by, I park myself right across from a middle aged white woman and her two daughters. One of them, who was probably 10, was very well behaved, but the baby in the stroller was quite the opposite. She kept screaming “papa, papa!” over and over again, while the helpless mother continued to speak to her in a quite voice as not too attract any more attention. It had to be the most annoying 10 minutes of my entire LIRR experience. Once the mother realized that talking sensibly to a baby was probably not going to work, she began to use threats on the annoying little girl. “Good girls get what they want, and naughty girls get nothing!” said the mother. Seriously? Your gonna sit there and try to threaten a baby girl screaming at the top of her lungs for whatever the hell she was crying about, and you think that’s gonna work! I don’t condone violence towards children at all……BUT this is one scenario where that little baby girl was asking for it. She probably never was hit before in her life, but that time is the perfect example of when to practice “tough love” on your children. And as if this story couldn’t get any better, the little baby girl begins hitting the mother from her stroller, which causes her to stop her crying but incites her laughter! This little evil white girl finds it amusing when SHE hits HER mother. If that’s not the most backward shit I’ve ever seen, then I don’t know what it is.
