Malls and I Are Incompatible
NaBloPoMo Day 16
I used like going to malls. Something changed somewhere along the way, though. Today, the thought of going to a mall fills me with dread. Could be the mad crush of people, could be the fact that parking in a mall lot is a danger to life, limb and vehicle. Or it could just be that everybody sells the same thing in different packages.
I had occasion to visit one of our local malls the other day, though. While there trying to avoid all the Christmas crap, I saw a parent and child combination that almost had me laughing out loud. The child was on one of those kid leashes, and every time the parent picked the kid up to stand on her (looked like a little girl, anyway) little feet, she’d flop down on the floor… just like my cats do whenever I have the audacity to attach a collar and leash to them.
The chuckles I got from that, combined with the fact that Bath and Body Works was having another of their excellent sales, made my trip to the mall less than the misery it generally turns out to be.

I sympathize with the kid. I drop to the floor quite often in malls too.
Ha ha! I get the urge to do that, too… just one more reason for me not to go to the mall!
