I don't want a house full of THOSE people, either.</i><br /><br />Reminds me of this one time years ago, when we still ate dairy, my husband and I were in a Wegman's, deciding which ice cream we wanted to buy. A couple of other people were ostensibly doing the same thing, just off to one side of us. Little old lady comes up, surveys the people gazing into the cases, and pipes in with, "What's everyone waiting for? Are they bringing out the ice cream?" Like there's some ceremonial "bringing out of ice cream" at an appointed time of day--and if you know just when to line up, you will get the s00per-sekrit awesomely good stuff that's not sitting in the cases the rest of the time. Husband: "No, we're just deciding what to buy." Implied: "Duh." ;)April Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364188321350027405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-4782123970088675172011-08-27T23:17:47.357-07:002011-08-27T23:17:47.357-07:00I'm sure Brittany Brat probably washes down he...I'm sure Brittany Brat probably washes down her bowl of processed wood pulp with a big glass of Pediasure to wash away the memory of having to chew.DreadedCandiru2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15561460498807276057noreply@blogger.com
