Father's Day Shoppin'

Alrighty, Father's Day tomorrow! Who's ready! We are! As of thirty minutes ago! Just got back from the mall wih Sibling, and Mother...

We went out for a father's day present, and spent over three hundred dollars! Forty of which we used on Father.....Is that bad? Mother, Sibling and I got tickets to go to the movies...We saw The Lake House. It was very cute...although one shouldn't bring intelectuals to see it should they delve into the topic of how the movie is impossible should she give any information. I'm not giving any spoilers away, but I will tell you all I had the whole movie plotted out in my mind the second the movie started.
Before the movie, we went to the Olive Garden....Had the Tour of Italy.....Always a tasty treat..Then a Black Tie Mouse Cake for desert...And then the movies....And then we went home for a second, and then went to the mall. I got two shirts, and a pair of sleep-pants....a coffee drink....Sibling got a few shirts, a pair of pants, as well as Mother...Oh, and we got Father two-three shirts, and two pairs of shorts..Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

But I shall recap for you......Nay, I will give you some facts that Mother and Sibling, and myself did after the movies.....Fun stuff, it was. Anyway, in the abadoned parking lot of Bradless or whatever the building once was... Mother let me drive the van around. Lots of fun that was, apparantly, I can park rather well, I can back up..that's called 'Reverse' But don't worry, don't barracade your children and loved ones indoors, and off of the sidewalks just yet...I didn't go above 14 mph, so you're all safe....As long as you're out of the parking lots.... -insert evil grin here-

After that, during our excursion in the Mall, well, during our wait in the line of Sears Mother, Sibling, lady waiting to be scanned, and I listened to a rather unattractive man mutter on about boxes....here's how it went....

Unattractive Man:Do you have boxes?
Frightened Clerk Teen:No, we've only got them during the Christmasy season.
Unattractive Man:Well, I need a box. I can't just give the shirt in a bag. I need a box.
Frightened Clerk Teen:Sir, I-
Unattractive Man:I need a box, you can't give a present in a box. This is a department store, they're suposed to have boxes.
Me:-stares at tall stack of colorful gift boxes-
Unattractive Man continues:I need a white gift box...You know what, you know what? I need a refund. I have to walk, all the way to Penny's now, they're a real department store, they've got boxes.
Frightened Clerk Teen:-gives refund- Next.
Unnatractive Man:-walks away, leaving his gay shirt behind on the counter.
Mother:Do you have white gift boxes?
Frightened Clerk Teen:-blank stare-


Lovely story, eh? I thought so..........

-Ta,

Poor Clerk.
Some people are just so inconsiderate...
