At the mall

As I walked in I was passing the "teenage" section of Nordstroms. A mother and her ~4 year old daughter were walking through looking bewildered. The mother leaned down to the little girl and said "These are big people clothes aren't they?" The little girl nodded vigorously. "Why don't we go to the kid's section and find you something nice."

Funny, I was thinking I was walking through the kid's section and needed to find myself some big people clothes. I guess I'm getting old.

Later that same day

Sitting and eating my lunch a woman across from me gets a phone call. She begins talking, realizes the reception is bad and paces slowly around her table. Not wanting to leave the table to go outside because the cafe is jammed, and she's alone so she can't leave her food to hold the table because it'll be cleared away by the time she gets back. I should have been nice and told her I'd make sure they don't take the food away ... but I didn't. So I was treated in a minute to the most unusual cell phone positioning I've ever seen. The woman squatted over her chair, never quite touching it, while bent forward in half, hair hanging down and touching the floor, one finger in one ear, cell phone glued to the other, while she spoke loudly and frantically about the deal that was she was supposed to be closing, had she decided to go in to work that day.
