We're officially "those" parents

After I was trying to get a new flower bed set up, we headed into town to do some grocery shopping and pick up some new greenery for that flower bed.

Anyways we were in the hardware store looking at coffee makers. Carson was playing with a spray bottle and he was starting to get worked up. Well in a matter of seconds he hucked that bottle and hit some poor innocent lady walking down the isle. oh..Then Carson proceeded to scream, head butt, hit me, and scream some more before falling to the floor in a heap.

So.....it was a that point during the screaming, Brodie glaring at me, and everyone else in the aisle staring at us...when a little voice inside my head said "I've become one of them". One of those parents that we used to say "why can't they just control their kid". I take back those words now, and feel sorry for those parents out there that have to endure the meltdowns of their 21 month olds because we are one of you now. :O
