It's all fun and games until someone gets bit on the cheek....

Last Friday we took Addison to The Children's Museum for a night of fun on free admission night. A friend of ours told us about it and was going to join us with their daughter as well. Addison was having a great time playing in the water exhibit and she really enjoyed playing with the musical instruments. We didn't even get to see half of the exhibits when we opted to go to the train exhibit. Addison spotted the steering wheel on the train and thought it looked like fun to play with. Well, there were about 3 other children playing with it, but Addison ran up there as well. She only put her hand on the steering wheel when this boy (who appeared to be about 4 years old) pinned her against the wall and bit her cheek. Brian and I were mortified, neither one of us could climb in the train fast enough to prevent it when we could see what we was about to do. Poor Addison had an instant bruise and was even bleeding!

As we are looking around, this kid is just being a terror and his mother is not even near by. We proceeded to call out "does anyone know who this child is?" and she walked over as if it was no big deal. I proceed to inform her that her child bit my daughter and drew blood!!! She didn't even apologize, she mearly states "he just started going to daycare, they must be biting him at daycare". Then she just let it go. I am sorry, but if your kid can't play nice, he shouldn't play at all. If it were Addison, she would have been in the car on her way home for the behavior. Well, she didn't punish him in the least.

I proceeded to go to the front counter and inform them that this little boy is biting other kids. They went and talked to the mom and all she said was "he only bit ONE kid". Isn't that ONE kid TOO MANY?! I mean really! They asked her to leave. It was near closing, so I am not sure that did much to teach either the mom or child a lesson.

Lesson learned: Do not go to The Children's Museum on free admission night. All of the freaks bring their kids out and they have no manners or morals!!!
