I AM A HERO

Okay maybe not, but this picture reminds ya'll just how
big my mouth is....
So today I am sitting in a waiting room,
waiting for my appointment, trying to mind
my own business which is always hard for me.
I'm reading a book and a young woman comes
in, sits down to wait for her appointment.
Not long after, a young man walks in with his
child and sits by this girl.
Now I am interested, because you see I am a sucker
for kids...
So this guy is mouthing off to this girl but low so
no one can hear but I can tell she is getting upset.
I still am minding my own business....
She gets up with the child and moves to another part of
the lobby, she is clearly upset but I still try to read
my book...
he gets up and sits next to her and keeps mouthing off
now, I am about to speak up but still,
I am proud to say, try and stay interested in my book.
But then, then she puts the child down because
she is clearly upset, the man grabs the child
and heads out the door, and she follows them out.
It's all I can do to stay sitting, oh but I am watching.
Then I see them arguing, she tries to grab the
baby from him and he begins pushing and pulling
on her shirt...
WELL YOU KNOW THIS WAS WAY, WAY TOO MUCH FOR ME!
So I stand up, storm out of that lobby door
and scream at this guy,
"Do I need to call the police here
because if you think I am going to watch you hit and
push around this girl you are crazy!"
He lets her, holding the baby go.
I tell the receptionist at the door to call the police and
I help the young girl and the child inside.
I tell the lunatic that he better stay away and
he tells me he is waiting for the cops...
yadda, yadda, yadda
Well the young woman and the child are escorted
to the back and I sit down, pick up my book
and keep reading....
The police did come and did take my statement
but I don't know what happened except
that the girl and child were safe.
Now Ya'll know that was just too much
pressure for ol' Aunt Lil
not to interfere.
The ironic part of all of this is there were other
people in that lobby that saw the same thing as
me but no one got up but me.
Even after they saw me screaming at him
and making sure this poor girl and baby
got in the building.... no one got up!
Is there something wrong with me?
If there is I hope I never have it
corrected.
Well just another adventure in lilbit of my world.

  1. YOU GO GIRL!!! DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE BECAUSE I WAS NEVER IN THAT SITUATION BUT IF I SAW A CHILD THAT WAS ABOUT TO POSSIBLY BE HURT I THINK I WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING. DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE GONE OUT BUT I THINK I WOULD HAVE DEFINATELY CALL THE COPS.

    GOOD JOB AUNT LIL!

  2. It's hard to say what you would do in a situation like this until you're there. I can see where I would have done the same thing because I have lots and lots of adrenalin (Spellcheck) that is constantly on standby, like a cat, just waiting to pounce upon something...anything (OK, this is the Stephen King coming out of me...sorry). I would have probably gone to the parking lot and kicked some ass because if there's one thing I can't stand is a bully. The only thing worse than a bully is one that picks on women and uses children as an intimidation...oh, man, let me at him!!! Well, I don't know about kicking his ass, but I would most definitely have gone out with my phone in hand dialing 911.

    That's my story and I'm stickin to it!! Good job, Lil, you are the "WOMAN OF THE DAY"!!! Shame on those, especially if there were men, who just sat and did nothing...

    Y'all have a good day and a great weekend..my love to you all....meow!!

  6. We are only getting one side of the story here. Supposed the woman is a drug addict or a child beater or a child molester and the man was trying to protect the child. But I would have done something. I think I would have first called 911 and get the cops on the way ASAP. Then if I went into the parking lot it would not have been with my phone in hand. I probably would have gone to my car, open the trunk and got my tire iron out. I’m getting to old to Beat Any Ones Ass without some sort of assistance. Once the child was safe in the Mothers arms I would have busted his head open with the tire iron until I saw brains spill onto the cement. (Love the smell of burning brains on hot cement.) The thing about this is that he would be getting out of ICU about the same time I would be getting out of jail. And you know what ?? I would find him and do the same thing all over again. You know why ?? Because I’m stupid that way. If he deserved it once he probably deserves it a second time.

    As for the people sitting there not trying to do anything, I believe FEAR is the biggest factor these days. There are some crazy M.F.s out there these days. If you know what I mean??

    But Lilly please keep this in mind. Always call 911 first before going outside to confront this type of problem. Lie to the cops and exaggerate the problem to get them there faster. Like tell them the man is beating the child. You can always explain later why you said that.

    That in my eyes was a very dangerous situation. But I am very proud that you stood up and did the right thing under the circumstances. “YOU GO GIRL.”

    Now Ronnie you try to tell me that you didn’t scar Lilly for life when you two fell off the porch. Look at that mouth. You should be ashamed of yourself, scaring your little sista like that. And you came out with just a sore foot. Look at that big mouth and that U _ _ _ face.

    LUV-U-BOAT-THOUGH,
    The Brod.

  7. yeah but I didn't care about fixing the problems just wasn't going to let him beat that girl in front of me!!!
    the office was calling the police and my phone was in my car.
    you know when you see something like that you don't worry about safety only helping that girl.
    and like i told the stupid fool, she was here by herself and you brought the child here to the office if the child was in danger why in the heck did you come here.
    anyway, he was a punk because when i confronted him he backed down then landed up staying there until the cops did come because he wanted that poor girl again.

  13. uhhh,
    brother Ron, it'll take more than duct tape and popsicle sticks to hold that thing up...
    tooth picks would be long enough...
    I think there is a pill for that now but even that probably won't help.
