Children of New York City, it's important you learn to be patient, because sometimes Mommy has important errands to run and she needs you to SIT QUIETLY in your stroller and not cry as you roll out of the subway car during her fistfight. This was the life-lesson taught to one youngster earlier this week when two women got into fisticuffs on the L train. Watch as the child rolls right out of the train as her mother attends to a matter of vital bitchslapping:
No harm done, because bystanders took good care of the tot while her mother represented. It's actually kind of an uplifting story when you look at it that way: a caring community coming together to help out a busy mom when she's spread too thin. A little taste of Grover's Corners, right here on the L train. [Via Animal NY]
