Those parents are letting their toddler crawl all over a piece of art by Donald Judd (act like ya know him) estimated to be worth $10 million dollars.
The woman confronted the parents who didn’t really give a turd (SHOCKED!) and the mother even told the woman “you obviously don’t know anything about kids.”
Well, I do know something about kids, because I’ve got two of them. I know only the child of two assholes would do such a thing.
Look, art is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, so the fact that those Ikea shelves are worth millions of dollars is absurd — but that’s not the point. The point is to teach the kid to have respect in public places and for the property of other people. Some of my friends live in a dump, a dump much nicer than mine, but I still won’t allow my kids to jump all over their couches or break their stuff out of respect.
The woman alerted museum guards who probably immediately put up the velvet rope. Which, you know, no kid would ever cross.
