"Please watch your children"

Today Ryan, Evie and I went to the local dollar store to look for some more books for Evie. She loves, loves, loves, to be read to and we thought the dollar store might be a good place to find a few more to add to our small collection. As we were checking out the manager of the store got on the intercom thing twice asking all the parents in the store to please watch their children. What is it about people in Utah and thinking that they don't have to watch their kids?! I told the manager as we were leaving that I agree that people should watch their kids. I think it's ridiculous that people come into a store and let their children run wild all over the place. It's almost like they expect the store employees to keep an eye on their kids for them. Seriously. My store has had sooooo many Code Adams where the parent has lost track of their kid(s). I don't get it. Either the parents have a false sense of security and think that nothing bad happens in Utah county, (except remember Elizabeth Smart??) or they're not teaching their children that wondering away from them is dangerous. I really don't get it.
