Parents - Don't you hate when you're in public and others undermine your authority with your kids?

God women and their children. I swear you take things too personally and flip over every little thing. This isn't even your kid so I can't imagine how you will react when it is your own. You didn't give a reason so of course the pet lady is going to say it's fine because generally pet stores don't want you to touch the animals. She was saying it is fine that they allow it. You looked like the bad guy because you over reacted.
