Things Wrong with the Middle Classes, Part 463

[dotinthesky]

Kevin went to our local fancy schmancy cafe yesterday morning, called Elbows. He was trying to get away from distractions at home and found himself surrounded by mummies and screaming toddlers. The mother nearest to him asked the waitress:

"Can I have a little glass of milk?"

"Do you mean a babyccino?"

"Yes, a babyccino."

Later, another mother arrived and this time her own toddler ordered a babyccino.

See, I'd always assumed a babyccino was at least steamed milk, perhaps with chocolate sprinkles so the nipper doesn't feel left out. I sit corrected.

Yet one more reason to feel the middle-class shame. Hurray for inherited guilt. :)

I only hope they have a comparable selection for all the purse-puppies that must surely patronize their establishment with equal frequency?! Perhaps a puppyccino?!

I so hate the middle classes.

Which is awkward, as I am really very middle class myself.

But I count myself as Inteligencia, rather than Bourgeoisie. Which is a very important difference. It means I can like sourdough, but look down my nose at over-sized prams.

That's just plain wrong on so many levels.

As a coffee shop an employee, I say
