The weather people did not lie when it said it was going to rain. I think they may have lied about how much it was going to rain though. But we need it. The grass needs to get greener and our flowers need to grow. Or…well…yeah, flowers need to grow. Speaking of flowers and plants and the like, I think I am going to buy an Oleander tree this weekend. And then I can make poisonous milk and use it to kill a lover who has spurned me. Now that sounds like a good weekend.
It's strawberry season, which is a good season. I bought some last night and I was excited when I got home and realized that I have some Cool Whip, which is the perfect dip for strawberries, if you ask me.
Last night while I was at the grocery store, buying strawberries, this family comes in with a screaming toddler. And when I say screaming, I mean SCREAMING. All throughout the store. I could hear the kid in the shampoo aisle. I could still hear him when I was checking out. And the awful thing was that the mother kept looking at the kid and laughing. I think the laughing was inappropriate for two reasons. First, I think the laughter made the kid madder, therefore the screaming picked up in intensity. Second, the mother laughing was an indication that she had no respect for her fellow shoppers. And I felt as though I was being punished for not liking kids by having to listen to this little monster and it's Medea-like mother. I really wanted to go up to her and thank her for not only ruining my shopping experience, but for reminding why I don't like most kids or their parents.

She should have been asked to leave. Managemnt of those types of places need to step up to it. If it had been people yelling at each other or something similar, they would have been booted.
Damn kids. Damn parents.
It was Meijer. People seem to be able to get get away with a lot of things in Meijer.
I just used my last Meijer coffee filter and cupcake wrappers.
Damn crimnials in Meijer.
That is sad about the last of your Meijer loot.
And yeah, parents are stupid. I am glad we are all in agreeance.
Kids and Meijer? I don't even want to talk about that.
When my sister was little she was a screamer and one time they got kicked out of Pizza Hut because she wouldn't shut up. The end.
