An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Grrrrrrrr
Jr and I spent the day wandering through Wally World, where she went in one direction, and I ended up hunting for her for a good half hour. You’d think if I said “Go put that back where you found it”, she’d have enough sense to return to the place where she left me, right? WRONG! She decided to take the long way back around. Pfft! TEENAGERS! I have to ask….why do teenage girls have to have socks that look like Pippi Longstocking rejects?
Naturally, there must always be a trip to the book store! It’s like a rule! It’s genetic! The draw is too great to resist! I only found two paperbacks, where as Jr found all kinds of things to peak her interest. Of course, we ended up spending as much there than at the Mart.
Then, it was off to the movies. Here’s where the REAL grrrrrrrr comes in! If you are going to pay your money to watch a movie, please, explain to me why you must sit there and text through the whole freakin’ thing????????? And I don’t just mean one person. There were at least 4 or 5 doing it. Do you have any idea how bright that bloomin’ light is in a dark theater? Have a little common courtesy! It’s not that difficult!
So, what did we see? Well, she’s a teenager, right? We had to go see New Moon! Amusing to say the least. The books are much better than the movies. Ok, I admit it, I had to see what all the hoopla was about, so I bought the set. Talk about an easy read. Heh. But hey, I like the theater of the mind in various forms, so why the heck not!
Now, it’s time to dry off (we both got fairly damp after running/waddling through the rain), and get comfy. I wonder if she’d notice that I put in some ear plugs? Dang, that girl yaps a LOT! And as most teenagers do, says nothing at all! sigh….
It could be worse, she could be a liberal!
LOL She KNOWS better!
