Pushy parents

I nearly lost it yesterday at Emma's Montessori Christmas concert when rude, rude, rude parents pushed forward in front of the stage - as they did last year - to photograph their own child, completely  obscuring the view of all the rest of us politely sitting on the seats.  After some minutes of seeing nothing I called out, 'Sit down in front!', then leaped up and tapped a few of the culprits on the shoulder, smouldering like a volcano and pointed out that we could not see. Some of them looked a bit sheepish and moved back, then the head of the kindergarten asked them to wait till the end of the item, when they would be given the opportunity of taking photos.  But after about two minutes they were all at it again.

While my blood pressure is still up I'm going to be blatantly racist - all the offenders were Indian or Sri Lankan and I couldn't help commenting that Japanese and Australian parents wouldn't be so rude, though Philip assured me they would, that it's changing times...
