I Believe the Children are Our Future.

One morning, on the Union Pacific North Line Metra...

Small Child Several Rows In Front of Me: What it is, brother! What it is...

Man Who Has Been Muttering Swear Words to Himself Several Rows Behind Me: TELL IT!

Small Child's Mother: (to child) Just stay still!

Small Child: (to mother) Suck it up, bitch.

Small Child's Mother: Shhh!

Man Who Has Been Muttering Swear Words to Himself: I LIKE YOUR STYLE, KID! HEY! TIE HER SHOE UP!

Small Child's Mother: She's fine.

Man Who Has Been Muttering Swear Words to Himself: DO IT! SHE GONNA TRIP AND FALL.

Small Child: DO IT! I CAN'T DO IT!

Man Who Has Been Muttering Swear Words to Himself: (singing) Tie you shoe uuuuup, baaaaaby guuuuuuuuuuuuurl...you is gonna trip and faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall...

Small Child: (singing) I DON'T KNOW HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW....

Man Who Has Been Muttering Swear Words to Himself: (still singing) Tie you shoe uuuup...

Small Child: Sometimes I be trying and then it be wrong.

(silence)

Man Who Has Been Muttering Swear Words to Himself: Girl. You smart. You put wood on my head.
