Why is it when there are a ton of people in the post office that Baden decides to run around and be loud? He knows he is not suppose to do that and is to stand by me, but of course this afternoon he did  not do that.  It was after school and it was busy at the post office.  I have been there many times before in the morning when no one is there and Baden is an angel. He stands by me and does not run around.  Why, oh, why couldn’t he have done that today.  While standing in line, he was mostly standing next to me then when I was called to the counter he ran away.  Billy went to get him and of course Baden thought he was playing so he started running and raised his voice. He was not screaming or yelling, but actually laughing.  The clerk who wears his glasses down on his nose so it always looks like he is looking down at you said “Volume control, please.”  I said I was sorry and quickly took Baden by the hand and we were out of there.  Even though this probably did not happen, I felt like everyone’s eyes were burning into me.  I was embarrassed, but then that embarrassment turned to irritation.  I understand we are in a place of business, but to scald a child for laughing too loudly is a little much.  I often wonder if people who do this have children of their own or grandchildren.  Did they forget what it’s like to be around children?  I feel sorry for those people who choose not to see the innocence and hear the joy of a child, but instead peer over their glasses and make you feel like you are a bad parent.
