There is a werid pseudo-logic some parents use, where they take any and every thing a child does as a Deliberate Defiant Decision.
Good thing Rita didn’t get diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (AKA Fast Track To The Prison-Industrial Complex)—-although that might have been a bit too disgraceful for the sort of parents implied.
For example my father once told me proudly how when I was a baby he decided to not remove me from the church service when I cried because I'd learn I could leave the church service whenever I wanted. Mind you I was a baby. And I'm sure everyone else in church enjoyed hearing me cry. *eyeroll*
It sounds as if your father would agree with Mike Warnke’s(1) take on the subject of people disturbed by babies crying in church: “You know what that sound means? It means people are having their babies and taking them to church!“
(1) A Midwest-based evangelist/comedian whose performances consisted of ripping off the cleaner bits of George Carlin’s and Bill Cosby’s routines before abruptly Mood Whiplashing into Satanic Panic horror stories—-sacrificial dead babies galore were involved—-and passing the collection plate.
