Parenting is not an easy job. Educating kids, teaching them right from wrong, not spoiling them but treating them well, giving them life lessons. Kids can be terrors, and they can be annoying, and they can be sweet. But why does it always seem like the most unusual parenting happens in the grocery store?

Quote of the Week

Giant Food in Columbia Heights around noon last Friday:

Mom pushing two kids, one of whom was clearly school age.

Girl points to cereal box featuring children’s book character Arthur the Aardvark.
Girl: “Look Mom, it’s Arthur, I love Arthur. I get to read about him in Sunday School.”
Mom: “No shit Sherlock, you think I don’t know who Arthur is? Bitch. I know who Arthur is. Fuck… Sunday School! Arthur? Bitch.”

A church lady witnessing this scene looked woozy after hearing that and ran to catch up with the family.

After the jump, weapons at the Armory, Jar Jar Binks, and the wrong work.
