Cheetah Print Glasses

Yesterday, my mom and I spent the entire afternoon together shopping and doing other things. We made what I thought was our last stop at Walmart to pick up groceries. There, a truck full of teenage boys kept riding by mom and I, and as they made their last circle around us mom sighs, "Gah! I wish they'd quit staring at me!"

Then, she wanted to go to the Dollar Tree. I stayed in the car because the Dollar Tree in K-Town has some weird, weird people in it (hence, Mom is in there). So, I'm sitting in the car, waiting, reading my magazine. About fifteen minutes pass and I look up to see a deranged woman skipping and hopping through the parking lot with glasses on..... Yep, it's my mom. She has bought a pair of reading glasses for a dollar. They are square and covered in cheetah print and she claims they look great with her hair.

We move on from the Dollar Tree and mom wants to go to McDonald's to get a cheeseburger before going home. We get into the drive thru and pull up to order. If you've been to a McDonald's drive-thru you know that they have an automated message before you order that is recommending something to you. Most people just decline the offer with a simple "no." Nope, not my mom. She raises her voice at the speaker box saying "If y'all take that message off and just ask people what they want you might get more orders! No! I don't want that mess!" .. That's all for today. Love ya mom.
