“You chat too much!”
The little boy shouted at the man standing by the road side, then walked away.
I was surprised, uncomfortable and by the time the little boy had walked away,I was RED. I have never seen such rudeness and blatant disrespect for an adult by a child. I am appalled by the degrading discipline among our young and the fact that some adults have taken a ‘hands off’ approach.
I said to the man, quite firmly. “A boy is a boy and a man is a man, you must put the little boy in his place.”
The man then responded, “We have gotten use to his talk, that’s just how he talks”
I was further infuriated, as I could not believe my ears. Someone once said that when he was growing up boys were afraid of men company but nowadays, men are afraid of boys’ company.
The boy must have been about age 12 or there about. Can you imagine what will he be like at age 16 or older?
Adults must take up their place. We cannot allow children to behave anyhow and get away with it.
Who will save our children?
