So here I am still in Brooklyn. Two more days in the jungle till I go back to Montreal! I cannot wait. Tonight we are making a little supper at my sister's with a few friends. When can we go wrong with good food and good company...and amazing Super Bowl commercials lol. I hear it is the day that most Americans eat! I can only imagine how many chicken wings and pizzas and beers will be polished tonight...
The other day I was sitting in the subway and I see a woman come in holding in one hand her infant. She was adorable, the little kid that is. The woman was wearing heavy makeup and was in a bad mood. She threw her kid on the bench! I thought I didn't see correctly. Then she placed her kid on her side but her movement were too rough. I started feeling uncomfortable and tried deviating my attention from her, because I was getting stares of death. But when the little girl fell smack on her face and the woman didn't move or do anything i knew there was something was wrong. The little baby got up and tried to go back up on the subway bench but was too tiny. The mother yanked her again and sat her down with an abnormal force. To me this was child abuse. I felt extremely uncomfortable and useless. I really wanted to grab the kid and run...but was scared...I thought of calling the cops or doing something but didn't...who was I after all to tell a mother how to raise her kid...but I felt deep down that there was something absolutely wrong...it wasn't right...
