I got into the checkout line behind a large mother with her 4 or 5 year old standing up in the cart. I had my headphones on and my iPod blaring but I could still hear the kid screaming that he ‘wants it’ and he is ‘hungry’. He was pulling at her shirt, kicking the stuff in the cart, hitting her chest, and screaming like an animal. I assumed he wanted a candy bar or something and I couldn’t help staring at his crazy behavior. Suddenly mom hit the point where she decided she’d had enough. She yelled, “FINE” and lifted her t-shirt up over his head so he could breastfeed. He reached up with both hands under her shirt and latched on. This was the single most horrifying moment of my life.
