So I find it funny (and I mean this in a non-comical haha kind of way) that last night I found this thread/posted and today while I am waiting tables, I brought a table drinks and then asked them if they wanted appetizers. The 10 year old at the table was the only one who wanted something. When his dad said he didn't want it, the boy said, "you're bipolar. You never know what you want?" Really?! Did this just happen? The family then continued to make jokes by calling each other bipolar and whatnot.
This really bothered me. Even if the dad was truly bipolar (you never know, so I won't assume), I couldn't believe that the term was thrown around so loosely and joked about and by a 10 and 13 year old! And the parents didn't correct them or anything. In my head I was thinking, "Shut up or I'll show you what bipolar really is!"
I just couldn't believe it and thought it was funny they were sticking there feet in their mouths and didn't even know it.
