I ain't no parent but...

I don't know whether is belongs in the Parking LoT or not but here goes.

I'm at the T (subway) station this morning. The train's coming. It's crowded. Twentysomething dad is running towards the platform. His daughter, five years old, is lagging behind. She's lagging behind because she is... oh how can I put this lightly... fingerbanging herself at a turnstile. Dad turns around, smacks her hand away from under her skirt and says, "Dang, girl! Why you always gotta be playing with your junk in public?"

Her junk? Is that what we're telling our daughters to call it now?
Not only that, but she's really young. She has no idea what she's doing. So, just announce to the whole T station that your daughter is... you know... The girl looked like at that very moment in time she learned to be ashamed of her "junk". Sheezus Christ.

What would I have done? Hmmm, yeah. I would have pulled my little girl aside to someplace private then and there and said, "Hillary Kylie Starchild, let's have a talk." At no time would I call her vagina her junk and I would never embarass her in public like that. Not to mention that he was treating her like she does this all the time. Maybe the talk is wayyyy overdue?

Grrrrr. Why do I encounter all the weirdos? I mean, other weirdos?
