I had a friend tell me about something she witnessed at the grocery store.
A mom and kid shopping. Kid starts to throw a tantrum, screaming, on her
back, flailing limbs, 'cos she couldn't have something. The mom watches
this for a moment then leans down and says loudly, "I'LL BE OVER BY THE
VEGETABLES" and walks away, doing that thing moms do where they keep an eye
on you even if they look like they're ignoring you.

A moment or two later she realizes her audience isn't impressed and she
gets up and runs after her mom.
