Can I just say that the phrase "popping a wobbly" is new to me, and had I heard it without proper context I would have assumed it had an entirely different meaning?

Also, I think people who are passively hostile towards children are ridiculous. Sure, kids can be annoying. Everyone can be annoying. Conspicuous self absorption (as evidenced by loud crying in public places) is a characteristic that isn't unique to children. In fact, I would wager that most of the folks who can't stand kids are secretly envious of them because of how much slack kids typically get when it comes to conspicuous expressions of self absorption. This is especially evident in how closely folks who complain about whiny kids resemble whiny kids themselves.

Grow up. Kids are dumb because they don't know how not to be. What's your excuse?
