More Butthole and Brathead

Mommy brought in Butthole and Brathead today, who proceeded to whine and fight and then chase each other around and around. When I told them to stop running because it's not safe, mom acted even more uptight than yesterday. She didn't even say anything to them or look their way, but her mouth tightened up even more than yesterday and she would hardly even talk to me or look at me. I could almost see the whitehead getting closer to bursting.
My god those kids are assholes.

Food Pantry Pirate

A 20-something (if that) guy came in today and started looking at our guitars and inquiring about layaway. He said he was looking to spend a couple of hundred dollars for one, so I showed him what we have. I happened to casually ask him about his day and he said, "I have an appointment with the food pantry down the road pretty soon so I'm killing time right now"....while telling me how he wants to spend bucks on a guitar? Seriously, why isn't your able-bodied ass employed???
Another guy came in today and told he he volunteers for a church food pantry nearby as well as working at a local bingo parlor. He said how frustrating it is to him to see these folks who spend $50 or more a night on bingo cards, standing in line for food from the food pantry. He also said he sees people texting and playing games on their phones while waiting in line, and eating McDonald's from the store across the street. They have money for things they want, they don't want to spend their money on necessities.
My last straw was seeing a local gimme-gimme system-player texting...from her Blackberry...how she goes to food pantries. How can someone text from their Blackberry about going to a food pantry and NOT be ashamed of themselves for being such a leech??? Needless to say I don't visit that chat board any more. When I asked her how she could justify taking food from people who need it, she became (shocker) amazingly defensive. Imagine that! It may not shock you that she and her husband get 'hurt' at work a LOT (different employers, they get fired every time). But brag that they have a 'sports room' in their house for the husband. LEECH LEECH LEECH!

Butthole and Brathead

Butthole's mom came back in today, with the demon girl child, let's call her Brathead. Brathead is probably about five years old. The mom is starting to get very tense with me, she hardly cracks a smile or even looks at me, so this stuff with her kids is really building up to something that's not going to end well. If her mood was a zit, you would be able to see the whitehead forming.
So Mommy Butthole is at the counter and started saying, "Jesus Christ!" over something, I don't know what and I didn't care, it wasn't directed at me. So what does Brathead do?
"JEEZIS CHRIST!! JEEZIS!! CHRIST! JEZISCHRISTJEEZISCHRIST" like a parrot. So imagine her two adorable tots out in public, one calling people "butthole" and one exclaiming, "JEEZIS CHRIST" over and over. I'm half tempted to suggest to mom that she start a bail fund for Butthole (he probably won't even make it to high school) and a birth-control fund for Brathead in anticipation of her being the class lay in 6th grade. Such high hopes.

Butthole Child

Lady comes in with her kid, he's about 7 years old. (Thank goodness she left the daughter at home, the daughter is a demon and the mom gets SUPER PISSED when I tell her to stop doing stuff like climbing on glass shelving!) The seven year old boy child starts jumping around all over my counter and display cases, so she picks him up like he's a toddler and sits him on my counter. The first thing the kid does is start messing with my stuff on the counter and trying to dump my paper clips and staple with my staple. I told him to stop it. Then he starts messing with the box cutters that are on display...purposely up there where kids cannot get them...and I told him to put them down. He is sitting there kicking the shit out of my counter, messing with things, slurping a soda, you name it. Finally Mom concluded her business so I reached over and tickled Junior a little bit, he yelled, "YOU BUTTHOLE!" and jumped off my counter.
Would any of you be surprised that his mom GUFFAWED and was beside herself at how funny her seven year old sounded, calling someone a 'butthole'? The kid's dad is a jailbird so I guess Junior is just prepping for the day he's in the pokey. What class.
