While I agree with you I also disagree. You would had to have been there, seen and heard this whole thing.
It was not your typical guns and robbers kid thing, not at all. There was an eerie sense in her tone and the way the mother looked at her.
Some background: Most of our WalMarts here are overrun with the overwhelming majority of Hispanics who live in this area.
This woman and her children were Irish white with reddish hair.
Fish out of water. So these WMs are not the easiest thing to navigate given many factors. Almost any time of the day on any given day, it looks like the night before Christmas as far as volume of customers clogging the aisles.
And a child as young as the one in the buggy had to have heard something in her young life to come up with what she said........as in echoing her mother's sentiments?

And the way the mother smiled when the child said that.....very eerie. The poor other child lagging behind carrying some toy or something just seemed sad and isolated as well. There was a whole picture here and I am sure my few short words did not convey the entire scene.

Anyway, everwhat........
the pharmaceutical industry will never die.
