    I like the signs in coffee shops saying, essentially: “unsupervised children will be given an espresso and a puppy”

    Context? How about the same exact thing you’d do with an unsupervised adult? Say hello… do some small talk if you and they are both inclined. Otherwise, smile and leave them the fuck alone.

      an “unsupervised adult” is rarely loudly running about knocking into (and breaking) things and making a nuisance of themselves

            I work with special needs kids everyday. A lot of parent’s don’t have the skills or tools to be effective, and a lot need in home care, but I assure you, children are not difficult to manage, but people on the outside rarely understand what they are seeing. Is a kid crying at a grocery store? They must be out of control! or did you just miss the kid bonking their head on the cart? Maybe the kid is sensitive to bight lights, or noise, or maybe they are just tired of being in a cart or walking around a store and shopping is incredibly boring which is why it’s a chore. Kids aren’t that hard to deal with. but you have to get what the kid is responding too, not just wag your finger in distain.

    Well, I favor low and slow.

    Bone in, of course. Set the oven to 300, baste often, and cook to an internal temp or 165, as that’s the temp that kills cooties.

    Nothing. They don’t know any better and probably never will.

    The parents however need a hard beating and large enough fine that they need to pay it in installments so they get a monthly reminder for a few years they are dog shit people.
