A few interesting things I witnessed while shopping yesterday.
Incident 1
A stereotypical little old lady (you know the one: a tousled bit of dandelion fluff on her head; sensible shoes; and a pocketbook - she doesn't call it a purse or a handbag, it's a pocketbook - about the same size and shape as a bowling ball bag.) held up a pair of very tiny red lace thongs to herself and smiled.
Incident 2
Two middle-aged matrons were standing by the lingerie racks.
Matron#1: "Do you think Chris will like this?" I couldn't see exactly what she held up but it was baby doll pink.
Matron#2: "No, Mother. It's too small for him".
They walked further down the rack.
Matron#1: "How about these? They look like they'd fit him." Once again, I couldn't see and again the item was pink.
Matron#2: "Those are perfect." And she put the item in her shopping cart.
