It's after meeeee!!!!

Remember the weird little kid from yesterday? As it turns out, he apparently resides in Podunkville.

For those of you who may not remember, Podunkville is where I work. I went to the grocery today in the course of my duties, and was flailing my way through the bread aisle when I saw him. He was with an older lady who I assume was his grandmother this time. He was holding onto her arm and jumping straight up and down. Presently, he apparently saw something he wanted, but he didn't do the stereotypical "GIMMEEEEE!" He kept saying, "I want." in a rather conversational tone. Not "I want it", or "I want that", but "I want." Over and over and over. As in, "IwantIwantIwantIwantIwant". Fortunately for the populace, his grandmother was more proficient than his parents were at controlling him, and there were no more odd incidents the likes of yesterday.

Given his odd behavior on two separate occasions, I now wonder if my MRDD-dar may not have been off for once and he in fact had autism or something of the sort. Still, though. I don't let Gina stand on your shoes and drool on you, you don't have to let your kid jump at me, people. :P
