She missed. Her mother was walking behind her and just stared. Didn't say a word. I got angry and said "GA MA NA???" Which basically means "what do you think you're doing", but it's a phrase?that even if said quietly expresses a lot of anger. The mother jumped up and screamed at her daughter. I am not sure if it was to satisfy me only, a little show for?"a crazy foreigner", but the girl looked scared for a moment and quickly ran away, the mother apologized.<br>2 days ago another situation - me and Pepe come out of the elevator in my building and 2 boys are playing in the hall. One comes running to Pepe, pets him, and then turns around and when Pepe is passing he tries to kick him! I got p#$%#$!!! I grabed him and shook him a little telling him that it was not OK what he did. The little brat just laughed!!!<br>?<br>It scares me?how little people pay attention to educating their children on proper animal?treatment...I know I am not making this kind of mistake!<br>?<br>Very concerned,<br>?<br>Anna, Pepe and Lulu ATB<br>?<br>p.s. Please hug you Watson for me please.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></blockquote></div><br><div><br></div><div>Now you know why I'm glad I never got my teacher certifications.
