Stray Children

[grasscarp]

Today I went shopping in a large supermarket and as I as leaving pushing my trolley I saw a little girl about 4 years old alone and looking around anxiously as she made her own way out. I stopped her as she was running into the road in the car park and asked where is mummy. She said she didnt know. I said was she inside or outside the shop when you last saw her. She said inside, so I said, lets go back in and look for her. This was not easy as I was pushing my trolley back in against the flow around the checkouts and suddenly she dashed up to a trolley with mum and smaller child and clung on to the outer side of it. I watched and as unconcerned mum passed me, I said. Your little girl was outside. She said, quite uninterested, Oh she is such a little monkey. Not sure what I said (if anything) but she said without even really looking at me thank you and walked away. Is it me or is there something wrong with the mums of today?
