"What the other person did was abnormal."
Abnormally nice, that is. It's good to hear a screaming toddler story like this, for a change.

Days after a parenting debate erupted on social media about a diner owner in Maine yelling at a crying toddler, a very different scenario unfolded in North Carolina.
"What my child did was not abnormal," Melissa Wistehuff, of Raleigh, North Carolina, told ABC News. "What the other person did was abnormal. Number one, it was really awesome that somebody showed compassion. Number two, I always assume as a mom someone is judging us. When actually, those 'nasty looks' are people feeling sorry for us. Don't assume the bad in people. Just know there are good people out there."
Wistehuff, 36, and her husband were faced with a tantrum from their 2-year-old toddler Ian while eating at Sammy's Seafood House in Morehead City. Wistehuff said Ian was being particularly loud this past Monday after a long day vacationing on the coast.
"He was not happy to say the least. He is normally a very well-behaved child in a restaurant," she said.
