Funny People

Soooooo, today we went to OKC to see the Lego display of OKC, which was pretty darn neat!!! Caden was facinated, and it made me realize I havent taken him to see any of the landmarks that were replicated in the display, so New Years resolution #1, take my kids to see more of the state they live in!!

First we met my mom at Wal Greens, she got a digital camera for christmas and wanted me to show her how to use the photo kiosk there, so i'm going thru all the options with her and showing her how to use it, several people came to the photo center , these people make me want to get a job at wal greens just so I can people watch! the first lady came in to pick up a vhs converted to dvd that she ordered, inside was her vhs tape and a notice that it was a copy righted item and could not be copied to dvd, the tape was a Disney title and the lady just could not understand why they would advertise that they did this service if they could not, the clerk explained that it had to be something she owned the rights to, like a home video. the lady demands to speak to the manager, the manager explains the same thing to her, lady leave the store in a huff grumbling that its false advertisment. my advice to her, buy the DVD!!!!

2nd customer that caught my attention, a man in his 50's brings in a plastic ziplok back w/about 20 cartridges of 35 mm film to drop off to be developed, his jaw drops to the floor when he finds out its gonna be over $200 to get it developed. clerk explains that the processing is more involved than digital, man demands to speak to manager, manager explains same thing, man leaves store in huff complaining about the unfair price.

3rd customer to come to photo center was a lady in her 50's as well, had a memory card from her digital camera and had a cow when she found out the price for having 600 photos printed. the cashier even showed her how much she was saving since she was only paying 9 cents a print. lady demands to speak to manager to complain about prices. leaves store complaining about them. *LOL*

After all this both photo lab clerks decide they need a break!!! and go into the back room, can't say I blame them. by this time my mom has finished her photo order so we leave.

we go to Penn Square for the Lego exhibit, afterwards there was an area set up w/Legos that the kids could play with, the boys wanted to play so we let them and we just stood inside the door and watched them and waited, while we are waiting a lady comes up to Bryan and asks "Sir, are you from around here???" Bryan opens his mouth to answer and she says "where in this mall is the Dipping Dots cart?" Bryan tries to say "This is the first time i've been in this mall in over a year", but as far as he got was "this is the first time i've been in this mall......" before she cuts him off and says "Oh, this is the first time you've been in a mall????" and turns around and leaves. *LOL*

So next stop was Dollar Tree, Caden's teacher told me before the break that he needs new crayons, and since they HAVE to have the 8 count boxes I get them from Dollar Tree 3 for $1 and I try to make sure he has enough to give him 1 box a week for the quarter, we pull up, and since I was only getting that one thing only I get out of the car, I walk up to the door and the guy inside sees me walking towards the door and runs like heck to get to the door , AND LOCKS IT!!!! what a jerk!!! I told him I only had to get 1 thing and he said "sorry"

So no biggie, we just stopped at Target in MWC on our way to pick up Christian, I get the crayons and a couple of other things , pay for them and am out of there in record time. well, I noticed a large group of special needs adults in the store shopping. no biggie, they have the right to shop too don't they? the ones in the group that were finished shopping were waiting by the door for the others and one especially cheerful lady with a sweet smile had struck up a conversation with an elderly lady that was leaving, the lady was delighted to talk to her for a few min. , she was a very sweet and nice lady prob in her mid 20's, the elderly lady told her goodbye and the young lady told her to button her coat up because it was really cold out there!! and the elderly lady said "yes it is!" and she went thru the door, as she passed the threshold the young lady yelled very loudly " I don't want you to freeze your tits off!!!!!!!", the elderly lady stopped and turned and smiled in shock and then went out the door. this made me chuckle to myself and at the same time be worried about what she was going to tell me not to freeze off??? *L*

ok, so I made it out w/out attracting her notice. Bryan and the boys were wishing/shopping at Best Buy a few stores down so I walked down there rather than meet them, on the sidewalk there were a group of teenagers I assume were from MWC High due to the lettermans jackets some of the boys were wearing, as i'm approaching one of the boys spits all over the arm of the coat of one of the girls, who I assume is a cheerleader from what happened next, that girl did a high kick and kicked that boy in his crotch sooooooooooooo hard!! (which he deserved) as I passed them the boy was curled in a fetal posistion whimpering. I looked at the girl and said "well done!!!"

so Bryan and the boys had left Best Buy unknown to me and were sitting in the car in front of Target, so I called and they picked me up, we went and picked up Christian from her moms, then we hit Shawnee and Bryan decides he needs to get gas now, the price was 3 cents cheaper than yesterday, ok, I remembered something I needed to get in the grocery department so we went inside, and of course 1 thing turns into more, so we are waiting in the 10 items or less lane and I guess I must mention Caden was being veeeeeeeeeery bad!!! Bryan was getting really frustrated with him to say the least, while we are waiting I notice Caden is not grabbing things off the shelves and he is not hitting his brother, but he is yelling, I look around and then down, he is laying on the floor of Wal Mart and Bryan has him in a headlock, w/his ankles!!! I of course tell Bryan to stop because that kind of stuff will get us thrown in jail for sure!!! Bryan explained that Caden got on the floor and put his head between his ankles and he merely squeezed them together trapping him. jeesh!!!! i'm too aggravated to be embarrassed so I told him to go get the car and take Caden with him!!!

and then we mercifully made it home without anymore encounters with the general public and no brushes with child protective services.

Don't know about you but that makes me want to stay at home more than I already do!!!!

ok, done with this blog, it was just too long for a FB status update!
