10:45 am. Pine and 11th, near Cal Anderson Park. I’m waiting for the light to change and thinking how cute the gaggle of 4-year-olds are on the corner, walking hand-and-hand for safety. One of the kids has sandy-colored baby-curls so big, they’re almost an afro. And he’s wearing tiny OshKosh B’Gosh overalls. Man, he is soooo cu…
“Heyyy!!” says the seemingly normal looking lady in mom-jeans on the ledge. All kids look at her, plus the babysitter-teacher-daycare-person. “I GOT TWO KIDS,” she leans in closer and spits at them, “AND THEY’RE A LOT PRETTIER THAN YOU.”
Something tells me that’s not coffee in that cup.
ha!
nice!
Laugh-out-loud funny and cry-at-your-desk sad are so close together sometimes.
Does this make her a candidate for DOTW ?
Hi Mom!
I just saw that lady.
That’s not alcohol, KO. That’s just-got-my-treatment-and-life-is-ALL-RIGHT.
Slurring: “Yeah, and they clean up their mess before playing! *BELCH* That’s another thing: you brats don’t know respect!”
please continue to write more “lady on the street” observances like this kelly.
I wish you had that on video…
do any journalists work there?
does the staff ever receive any training in journalistic ethics?
is the might and power of Slog really best used mocking, ridiculing and libeling random people in public places?
“I GOT TWO KIDS,… AND THEY’RE A LOT PRETTIER THAN YOU!”
Mom always did say, “you get your brains from me and your looks from your father”….
Other day two kids got arrested by bike cops for drinkin’ beer in cal anderson. what were they thinking? it was 6:00pm! go to a more woodsy park, seriously…
neway, coffee cups are much more inconspicuous than beer cans. coffee ‘tumblers’ are even better…
It’s the new suburban bumper sticker replacing “My Kid Beat Up Your Honor Student”.
Wouldn’t the world be a poorer place if that woman got hit by a bus?
Holy shit I’ve been on a bus with this exact same lady.
She thinks one of her children is gay as I recall.
Not sure which is worse, this lady, or the old bum couple fondling each other on the lawn.
