I just re-read how I replied to to and I appoligize. It reads like an attack. I didn't mean that.

Here is a little tip that I use when kids are annoying in a super market. And they are.

Stop and just stand there looking at something.
It is amazing how fast people go through a store.
I find if I just STOP the world seems to just pass me by.

I had a total hip replacement last June. I’ve recovered to the point I can walk a straight line and look like nothing’s wrong. Throw a ball in front of a few feet and the pain of trying to twist my gait avoid it is rough business.

I like kids too, but I can’t stand there for long to wait them out. I just try to go to the store when there aren’t that many people. That’s when the young Mommies are out in force, too. I used to carry my cane just to ward them off.

Just stop for a moment. I couldn;t agree with you more.

This idea that children should be polite and thoughtful of their elders is just soooooooooo old fashioned.

May your ideas spread to encompass the entire populace.
