For my family, true excitement is grocery shopping. It is like Vegas. Bright lights, cheap food and you never know who you will run into, okay so there isn't a floor show, nor Siegfried and Roy, but we did see the crazy pre-op transsexual who wears a purse on her head so it was good.
Plus we saw a plethora of soccer moms and one could akin it to old people who are bussed into casinos....a bit like confused black children (only more flowerd shirts and complaints about their health)
We hit the jackpot when we found CornPops were on sale. But the chaos doesn't end there, on NOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOooooo....
Fruitloops were ALSO on sale. Which one does one choose????? Fruity "o's" and that cavlier Toucan Sam. Or the sweet, sweet genius of the oddly shaped, yellow-pearled corn-goodness.... a rift was soon formed in our family. Some people fight over the estate of their grandfather, others over some incident that happened twenty years ago...for us...cereal.
A quiet but heat discussion quickly moved near the honey-combs. I lobbyed for the CornPops like an oil-man,willing to offer money, whores, sides of beef. My baby brother Mike also a great debating champion at the tender age of ten, but still weak, becaus distracted by wonderful sugary cereals (mmmmm Cap'n Crunch)
VICTORY was mine. CornPops it was! After a nasty moment involving some grifting old people at checkout 7, we managed to make it home...in a snowy blizzard, uphill both ways.
Everyone rejoiced through-out the land. For there were cartoons on. So, my mom, two siblings and I sat down to bowls of cereal, and an important episode of Arthur.
True Bliss...

Date: 2002-01-31 10:30 am (UTC)yes, there is a lot I give up for brains...not much though.
There seems to be a cruel streak to some who have brains, but lack basic human empathy.
