Who ACTS like that????

So last night, we went to the annual Disney Magic Lights Parade downtown.  Mickey and friends parade down a rather magnificent stretch of a mile and turn on the holiday lights as they move along.  It's a big deal and we've been taking our kids to this since Abby was 2 months old in a Snugli.  She's 13 now.
Well, unfortunately, the weather was nice yesterday.  So the crowd was huge.  And this truly HORRIBLE woman in a gray beret with a black bow on the front just won the award for bitchiest woman on the planet.  The police had left their road closed signs laying flat on the ground, taking up a ton of space and Abby had a bit of a hissy about having to stand near a trash can instead of right by us.  Eventually the police came and took all but one of the signs, so my husband lifted the sign and propped it up against the bus shelter, making a lot more room.  Abby was trying to get into a better spot, while making sure her two younger brothers were in front so they could see the action.  Obnoxious hat lady had the absolute NERVE to tell my child that she was behaving poorly and was "making me uncomfortable".  I think more than that was said, because Abby was off to the side, by the trash can she so objected to and away from her friend.  I went to talk to her and my baby burst into tears.  Full on tears.
And the issue the woman was soooo uncomfortable about?  Her uncollapsed, $700 EMPTY stroller.  So, wretched woman, I hope you and your overpriced stroller have a very merry Christmas together.  Though I don't think Santa stops for adults who make kids cry at a Mickey Mouse Christmas parade...
