Well, I did not make it to the beach today. The weather turned ugly after the laundry was done. So I went to the mall instead. Believe it or not, I didn't buy anything other than a iced frappe from Coffee Beanery. But I found myself asking all sorts of questions while there. You will understand after you see these questions that I did not actually verbalize the asking.
1. Young girls, why do you come to the mall in your pajamas with no bra on? Especially since you are here with young boys. Is this really the way you want males to view you? Aim higher than being viewed as a piece of....well let's call it 'meat'.
2. Really, young man?? You looked in your dresser and thought, yes - the t-shirt that has the entire sides cut out, that's the one that I will wear to the mall? That shirt might be appropriate when playing baseball but not at the mall. I do not want to see that much of you!
3. Why do people wear flip flops where their toes hang off the ends? Buy a bigger size! Aren't shoes supposed to protect your feet from the ground? It's just weird to see your toes hanging off the ends.
4. Why do women that do not take care of their feet wear flip flops? I love flip flops and all things summer. But I understand that it is my duty to society to make sure that I have cute feet and well manicured toes before wearing them!
5. Why do men wear sandals? Gross!! Just say no!
6. Why do people let their children yell at the top of their lungs in public? Park - yes. Mall - no! I love kids but I don't want to have them screaming while I am shopping.
7. Why do parents scream at their children? And no, they were not the parents of the children that were screaming. It doesn't serve to make them act better and it makes you look stupid and mean.
All and all I had a great visit to the mall but it left me pondering. And yes I know, these questions show that I am no longer someone your mother warned you about, I am your mother! Now pull up your pants, button your shirt, comb your hair and go to the mall!
