What would you do if you witnessed a really questionable example of parenting in public?

WARNING: There’s a story coming.

I’m at the electronics store. I see a woman with her son at the register purchasing a video game. The boy is maybe 7 years old and has his right arm in a makeshift homemade sling. The woman while making her purchase is rambling on about how the US is circling the drain and how China is going to invade and take over. She says the situation is absolutely hopeless just like our educational system.

The clerk looks over the counter and says “what happened to your arm little guy?” Mom quickly pipes in, “Yeah funny thing about that. We have no idea what’s wrong. After this we’re going to the ER. I figure it’s no big deal and since we’re just going to sit there for the next 6 hours, we should get some stuff done first.”
