Last year, we went to the beach with dear child. We spent a lot of times
building a sandcastle, it has become our routine.
Dear child and dear wife went to use the toilet. They were gone while,
but during that time there were three children that were interested in
the castle that I was building. They asked if they could play too. I
said they should ask my son when he comes back.
They were gone so long, I felt so uncomfortable as they were not my
children.
They started "helping" to make the castle, which put me in a tricky
position as I couldn't then say no.
When dear child came back, he was furious that there were other children
in his sand castle. I thought though, it would be a good experience for
him to play with others.
It didn't end very well.
One of the gatecrashers was called "Monty" the other was called
"Gazelle" I just want to let those names sink in for a moment. Who calls
their children these names? It is setting them up for failure, surely.
