Children are gifts of God and are a symbol of energy and enthusiasm. Well, I am not very much into children and I easily get irritated if any mischievous child is creating nuisance around me. Although, I like well-mannered children. I have witnessed many incidents when I saw young ones behaving badly in public and here I will discuss a recent one out of those.

About a fortnight ago, I took my parents to a diagnostic lab in my city to get some tests done which were suggested by our doctor. Although they were adamant and wanted to rest back home as they had a high fever, somehow I managed to persuade them to come along with me. We paid for the tests at the reception and started waiting for our turn as there were many people who were waiting ahead of us.

My father was feeling irritated to wait at all as he had malaise due to fever. He was finding it difficult to sit, so I calmed him down by giving him some water to drink. Unfortunately, there were two children in the laboratory who came along with their parents as the parents also had come to get some tests done due to some illness. The children were splenetic and were literally shouting and screeching while running all around inside the laboratory. They were spitting here and there and did not even have their masks on. They were touching the floor and then putting the hands in their mouth. Everyone sitting there was totally pissed off as the children were so ill-mannered. When their mother tried to stop them, they pulled her hair and yelled loudly. I was sitting next to them and they told me to scare them by saying that if they will not sit quietly, I’ll give them an injection. However, I refused to say so and changed my seat. The lady ended up slapping them both and they started crying even more loudly.

I believe due to the ongoing pandemic scenario, people should refrain from bringing along their children to vulnerable places like laboratories or hospitals.
