Hard to judge **Scylla** too harshly on this one. We’ve all been in various public places where other people’s children where screaming bloody murder, kicking your seat, running around like little demons and generally being assholes. Whether **Scylla** did what he said he did, or took literary license after the fact, doesn’t change the fact that he did exactly what many of us (even those with children of our own) often thought of doing under similar circumstances. Because sometimes children are complete bastards and need to be made very aware that they can’t expect to get away with it, and shouldn’t even think of trying, twice. That said, taking an extra victory lap for putting an annoying child and his mother into place is a bit gauche. Although, that too may be forgiven given how much grief he’s caught over this incident from some. Let’s have some perspective folks; no child or mother was actually hurt in the exchange or its gratuitously self-congratulatory retelling. Of course, I’m coming from a time and place where perfect strangers were permitted to smack a kid that was acting out if his parents weren’t around to dole out the discipline. And look how well _I_ turned out. ---
