We went to the Red Rock Casino tonight for their Saturday night drawing. No, we did not win. Darnet! But, we did seem to stumble upon some seriously interesting people! I also managed to win $45.00 from my $2.00 investment into "China Treasures" penny slot! Yes! I never win, but then again I never play!
Anyway, on to the story. So, my husband Chris and I were sitting in the food court with Paisley. This lady sits down with her two children, one boy, one girl. After scolding the little girl for touching her brother's pizza, she decided to leave them at the table all alone. Mind you, these children were about five (boy) and eight (girl). Mom runs over to a machine and puts her money in there. No, she wasn't just sitting there to smoke a ciggie either, she was full on gambling.
The kids continue to argue and poke at eachother. When the girl has had enough, she ran to mommy at the machine and ratted on her brother. Mommy comes back to discipline them; not once, but twice, while leaving her Coach bag sitting on the chair at the machine she is playing (a wee bit dangerous for the purse, no?). I am seriously wondering what is wrong with this woman at this point in time.
Part of me wanted to go tell security about this woman, but the other part was like, "Maybe she has had enough for the night and just needs a twenty minute gambling break." Either way, I didn't have to do a thing because security was all over that. It took them a lot longer than I thought it would, but they showed up.
From what my husband told me ( I was away at the moment playing my penny slot), the security guy tapped on the little girl's shoulder several times and was asking her "where her mommy was". She continued to ignore him. He eventually found her mommy and mom also ignored the officer. Eventually, they all left. And I do not believe by choice.
So, if you ever are questioning whether or not you are a good parent, think of this story and know that you are doing a great job!
