Now I've seen it all

I was just talking to some ladies the other day about the bewildering new trend of parents bringing their kids to church loaded down with snacks. Mass lasts an hour. You mean your kids can't go an hour without crackers or Cheerios?

Every week it seems like more and more parents are doing it. They bring in zipper sandwich bags full of cereal, crackers, fruit snacks, or Cheetos. The kids are toddlers up to kindergarten age, I don't mean infants who need their bottles or haven't yet learned to sit still for an hour. You know these kids go to school or day care of some sort where they don't snack all day. An hour is just not that long.

So, today took the cake. In addition to all the snack bags, I saw a little girl, 4-5 years old, reach to the floor and bring up ... wait for it ... a can of Diet Coke. I have officially seen it all. I want to ask these people if they think they're going to a movie theater!
