Dishrag mother, bratty kid on chairlift
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2022 11:33 am
It was a long time ago, but for some reason it's still fresh in my mind.
I was riding a high speed chairlift some years ago with some woman and what I guess was her 9-year-old daughter. As you know, those things run fast, and out West they're pretty high above the ground. Anyway, I went to put the safety bar down when the mother said with a smile "She doesn't like it down."
Thinking back I should have let her know that there's a reason they call it a safety bar and can the kid talk? Instead, I just left it up and didn't say anything. No doubt the little brat made the rules in that household.
I haven't skied in a while, but I think if that were to happen again, I'd pull the bar down and let them know in no uncertain terms that it's called a "safety bar and I really don't give a blank what your little bundle of joy thinks".
