My journey to the Mall

I decided to do my shopping this morning. I had this 10 year tradition of going on Christmas eve and getting everything done last second. I use to enjoy the chaos.. I loathe it now. I went 10Am , lots of parking and the inside was hollow but the register lineups were long.. strange phenomenom.

Anyhoo , had to shop for 6 kids ... went to ToysRUs , one stop shop. Found something for all the kiddies.. I had no plan this year , I have no idea whats hot and cool so I just went with my instincts.

and for kiddies ages 2-6.. seriously go cheap. They dont care.. they'll spend more time with that empty box than the actual toy and literally the toy will be buried and forgotten withing minutes. Dont waste your money on expensive toys for kids... they wont appreciate it. get them glue , paper , crayons , books , videos.. simple crap.

Ill say this , the ladies dig a single dude shopping by himself for kids... the key is look sharp and girls will always be around you , starting small talk " oh , who's that for?" , " do you know how this works?" , " can you stop following me , I've called 9-11".. chicks , them and their games.

I was going to head to the foodcourt caz I was craving perogies but my shopping bag was tearing and I was suddenly really exhausted. I was only there for 1hr.. I was originally planning on spending the day there and looking around and hanging out ... but I just wanted to get outta there , plus it was starting to get crowded.

Pet Peeve time.. all you parents out there .... now for those woh sincerely cannot find a sitter , I exclude you but you nimrods out there who have to bring your big ass stroller to the mall during holiday hours.. JeZUZ ... CRIPES... you clog up foot traffic , take out knees and are a complete nusance , plus your bratty little snot nosed ass clown is running around. TO quote Brody fro mMall Rats as he watched an unsupervised child play on the escalator "

Brodie: I hope his pants get caught
and a bloodbath ensues.

T.S.: What is with you today?

 
                 
Brodie: Don't get me wrong.
I don't wish the kid harm
but his mother should suffer
that horrific ordeal so she'll learn
how to manage her child.

 
                 
T.S.: That's sort of a harsh lesson,
don't you think?

 
                 
Brodie: There's not a year goes by
that I don't read about
an escalator accident involving some bastard kid
that could've been
easily avoided had some parent I don't care which one,
but some parent,conditioned him to fear and respect
that escalator!
