I suppose a deaf lady might have trouble controlling her kids if she didn’t realize how loud they could get… ---

> [@Guinastasia](#): > > What about Eskimo Pies? Huh? HUH!!! I stepped in one while on vacation in Alaska and I’ve been prejudice against them ever since. Sure, you have acres and acres of wilderness but that doesn’t mean you can’t bury it does it? ---

Hmmm… I’m all-American, pale as a ghost and I can’t control my kids. Of course they’re both half-Mexican. That’s probably what it is. I can’t control their daddy either. ---

Wouldn’t it be a positive thing for Mexicans control your kids while in public? I mean, so that you don’t have to? Seems like it would be an incentive to take them out of the house, where they are unmanageable. ---

Yeah, my first thought on reading the title was, “They do?” While picturing a Mexican person holding an RF controller and causing my kids to turn in circles. Come to think of it, that makes slightly more sense than the OP. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mexicans-control-your-damn-kids-while-in-public/500209.md?page=10)
