[Real Life] Do it Mommy, Do it!

Chon'trell (pronounced Sean-trail), age three, was fidgeting in his seat. I had walked into the payment center for PG&E on Mission Street. His mother announced to the never-ending line that she had been in physical therapy all morning. "I hain’t walked on it since August," she said pointing down at the soft cast encasing her leg. She turned and put her hand on Chon'trell's head. He fidgeted some more and she grabbed a fist full of 'fro and yanked his head back. "You want mommy to put a cap in yo ass?" Do it! Do it! Was all I could think. Un/Fortunately she didn't and they left.
