Recently, on the subway, I witnessed a scene that will be remembered for a long time.
A young mother entered the carriage with her baby carriage.
At first, the child slept, but soon woke up and began to cry loudly.
The woman, embarrassed, apologized to the passengers and said in a low voice:
— Sorry, he’s just hungry.
Without waiting for the baby to calm down, she grabbed a cloth and began breastfeeding him right there in the train car.
The people around behaved very respectfully: some turned to the window, others simply pretended not to notice. It seemed the situation had been resolved peacefully.
But next to the mother sat an elderly lady.
She turned sharply to the young mother and said loudly:
— What are you doing? There are men sitting here! Have you no shame?
“But the baby is hungry…” the mother replied softly. “It’s a natural process.”
— Natural?! In our time, pregnant women didn’t even walk the streets, they were ashamed, and you young people have lost all decency! It’s disgusting to see!
“You can simply not look,” the mother observed calmly. “The others aren’t looking.”
— Oh, and on top of that, he answers? They don’t respect their elders anymore.
The mother tried not to react, but the woman became increasingly agitated, gesturing and drawing the attention of the entire carriage. The situation became embarrassing.
And then, suddenly, a young man, who had been standing nearby until then, intervened.
He did something that left the whole car in shock 😱😱
He took off his coat, approached the mother and gently covered her and the baby.
“That’s better,” he said, turning to the elderly lady.
— I hope that now you will finally shut up.
I can’t stand hearing this “in our time” anymore.
Your time has passed.
Now there are other customs.
—That’s none of your business, — the woman interrupted rudely.
— Shut up or move, or it will end badly.
“Are you threatening me?” the lady exclaimed.
— Yes, exactly, — the boy replied calmly.
— Enough, you’re a woman too: instead of supporting her, you only create problems.
There was silence in the carriage.
The lady snorted, but didn’t dare argue.
At the next stop, he got off as if nothing had happened.
