What my friend witnessed tonight while cashiering at Wal-Mart.
From Facebook:
"I have never had such lack in faith of humanity as I have tonight...
A woman and her little girl were coming through my line at work today, along with another family pairing... the little girl had a big bag (32oz) of m&m's in her hands and was looking around the isle[sic] for who knows what. Her mother was distracted talking to the other pairings mother who's[sic] son was putting her groceries in her cart.
When I started to ring up the mother/daughters groceries up, she looked at her little girl and asked her for her candy so That I could ring it up for her. The little girl put her m&m's away on a shelf, and grabbed a small squeeze thing of applesauce and said "No mama, I want this instead." and she handed her mother the applesauce...
Her mother looked at it like she'd never seen something before. and said "What the hell is this? Applesauce? Eww. I'm not getting you applesauce." and so she puts the bottle back on the shelf and grabs the bag of m&m's and hands to me to ring up...
I almost didn't ring up them because, well for starters... Applesauce is a much better snack/treat than m&m's. The bag of m&ms was about 3 dollars, while the applesauce was 75 cents I think. and if those didn't mean much to you, the woman denied her little girls right of choice... A HEALTHY choice, mind you..."

Applesauce on a shelf at a WalMart cash register?
A little girl who prefers applesauce to M&Ms?
Two pounds of M&Ms for three bucks?
Four strikes and you're out, DUmmy.
On top of that, DUmmy, you could be tombstoned for having a friend who works at WalMart.

1. I once saw a bumper sticker that said, "Out of My Child's Lunchbox Michelle!"
Not to worry lady, Mrs. Obama will not interfere with your right to raise a fat, out of shape, and diabetic before she's 20 years old, child.
We should take advice from the fat, out-of-shape First Wookie.

2. Some parents mean well
but you can bet mom don't like applesauce since she never developed the taste for it. A lot of it goes from generation to generation.
Also we are told this all the time. I recommend you watch the adds for V-8 juice for fruit and juice, and how they make fun of actually eating raw carrots... which are a healthier snack than the juice. This crap is all over.
I have no idea what the language-challenged nutcase nadin is trying to say.
