Makes Me Think - Today, at work, a woman and her young daughter came to my register. The girl was hugging her mother's leg and being very well behaved. She kept saying, “I love you mommy.” Suddenly, her mom jerked her leg and said, "Get off!" The young girl walked 15 feet behind her mother the whole way to their car. MMT

Maybe the little girl was like nagging for something, but her mother said no, so she tried to bribe her mother with love? I see this happening frequently, where I work :P

^^ Yeah, I've seen that too....it could be possible. But if the mom was just being a total jerk to the kid, that's horrible, not to mention really sad. ):
