Gracey's Space

Tuesday, June 05, 2007

Here some things my mind was musing over while I was watching people in the mall today:

1. Why do parents insist on taking their "darlings" into stores when they know the "darlings" are going to throw a fit when they can't have something? I actually heard one mom say, "I knew you were going to act this way!" Duh! (It's called a spanking and yes, I do believe in them!!)

2. Why do chicks walk around in skimpy outfits, yet they give give the finger to the guy that makes a improper comment about them? They should know that it is going to happen when they look like a street walker!

3. How come old people use the mall as if it is a running/walking track? Oh, I know that answer, because it's free, right?

4. Why does a couple go into a jewelry store and the woman tells the boyfriend/husband to pick out something that he thinks she would want but then makes a face of pure annoyance when he points to something that she obviously doesn't like and then says, "You don't know me at all!"? Girl, you should always pick it out and then just tell him what you want; don't give the guy the responsibility or you may be sorry.

5. Last but not least, why do men go into Victoria Secret or Fredericks of Hollywood and stare at all the girls in the store as if trying to imagine them in the sexy outfits? Are they imagining it on each woman or trying to compare the girl's shape to the wife's shape?

#3... They go there because it's inside, there are benches to sit on and rest, and it's air conditioned and heated.

I can't answer the other ones. ;-)

The mall is full such a variety of characters, isn't it? :-)

I've never done that at a Victoria's Secret! :)

#4. Maybe she's trying to train him? Like grading the answers to a pop quiz? I don't know. I'm easy to please. I think I'd pretty much like anything Hoop picked out for me. I'm more into the sentimental value.

I agree with Tink. I like to be surprised. If he loves me, then the ring does not matter how big it is or if it is my style.

It shows he thought of me and it is what he likes too!

I love to people watch. Sometimes I just laugh and other times just wonder what on earth they were thinking!

Sometimes we moms have to shop and don't have a choice but to take the kids with us. It doesn't matter where we are, even the grocery, they are going to ask for things. It's human nature! :) And I do spank, but in this day and age, it isn't safe to even mention that in public. We have code names for spankings which helps. Kids get grumpy and moody sometimes, too, and I will agree that when the kids throw a fit in a store, it is usually my fault for taking them out when they are tired, hungry, etc. (I don't even like to shop when tired and hungry). Regarding old folks at the mall, I think another reason is because it is a safe place and they can also get some social in at the same time. Plus window shopping - less boring for them than walking on a treadmill at the gym and safer than being outdoors and in the heat or cold??? If cardiac arrest occurs, there are many around to help. :) Just thoughts. I agree about the snotty girls jewelry shopping. If you want something specific, tell him! If you don't care, let him pick it and enjoy!
Totally agree with #2 and I can't really stand those VS and FofH stores... ridiculous larger than life porn in the windows!

You have more fun in the mall than I do! I tend to walk in to the store I need, buy it, then get out. Not my usual shopping style, but the mall drives me crazy sometimes.

Great Post!!! I can't agree more, especially the 'mini skirt'.
If you want to wear short skirt, the purpose is to draw attention right? why feel uneasy when people keep looking at you??
