Doing The Right Thing

I was in a parking area talking with a young woman and her two-year-old boy.  From in front of the building, we heard a woman screaming every curse word in the book at the top of her lungs.  We were stunned and confused as to why she was behaving this way.  The little boy got scared and started to cry.  

The woman who was cursing then got in a car with someone else at the wheel.  As they drove by, I stepped up and said firmly "Shut it!"  I then walked back to my conversation, only to discover the car had reversed, and she was now out of the car and coming for me.  I walked confidently to this woman and sternly said: "There's a baby right here."  She just glared at me, and as she was turning to go back to her car, she screamed out to me "Bitch!"

I've never been in a fight in my life, but I knew that kind of behavior wasn't going to fly.  I told the young mom I was with that not only was her son hearing this but who knew who else was nearby and hearing this kind of thing.  I definitely feel I did the right thing at the time and hope others will follow the instructions you give on a daily basis to "go do the right thing." Thank you for always being a motivational role model in my life.
