"is this your child?" (referring to an abandoned two year-old i found wandering the children's room)"yeah," the young woman says, somehow tearing herself away from her myspace page.
"you can't leave her alone by herself? i just found her here? eating crayons? you have to watch her."
"you can't leave her alone by herself? i just found her here? eating crayons? you have to watch her."
and as i walk off into the sunset, back to the children's room, the little girl pulls a soggy white crayon out of her mouth and hands it to her mother.

interesting point.
however, when using the word "you" to refer to people it can be used as either a singular or as a plural. i could be referring to a group of people, ie "don't make me shush your asses." or i could be referring to one person, "don't make me shush your ass." either is acceptable. i stand by my use of the singular, so that i am intimately threatening one person at a time.
