Time is relative

We slept in this morning, and by slept in I mean until 9:30 when the in-laws rang & left a message (we didn't pick up coz they'd just woken us up), then they called again about 5 minutes later. Liz picked up but too late so she called them back and chewed them out, for calling back so soon. Seriously, they call our landline and hang up without leaving a message, then they call my cell phone, and hang up, then they call Liz's phone and hang up, then maybe they'll call the landline again. Just leave a freaking message and we'll call you back (when we're ready ;)

So it was after 2pm by the time we dropped the kids there. Sometimes I don't know why we had kids. They spent most of this week at the in-laws, we got them back yesterday, they spent the night with us, then we dumped them back on the in-laws again.

We hit the Post Office and did a bit of shopping and when we got home it was 6pm??? How did it get to 6pm so quick?

A few hours later Liz said she was bored, and hungry, so we headed out to catch a movie and have dinner...in that order. So it was that 11pm we found ourselves wondering where to have dinner, and ended up eating at "In 'n' Out". We were not the only ones at In 'n' Out. The place was actually very busy, but who takes their young children out for burgers at close to midnight?

The same people that take their kids shopping at Super Walmart at midnight, apparently.

Now our kids were spending the night with their grandparents, and were probably (hopefully) in bed a looong time ago, so we're okay to go shopping after midnight. But seriously, what kind of parents go shopping with their kids at midnight? It was not just one, single, isolated case; there were several families with young children out shopping past midnight.

The strangest though was not the young families out shopping, but the guy riding one of those motorized scooters with several items in the basket on front. He stopped beside me, held out his hand, and asked me for change.

Dude, if you don't have any money, just how the hell do you expect to pay for those items in the cart? Or is that why you're bumming money off people? Do you expect us to pay for your groceries?

How cool would that be? Getting complete strangers to pay for your groceries. You don't have to win a competition for a shopping spree; Just visit your local supermarket, load up your cart, then hit up your fellow shoppers for spare change. Pretty good idea, until you run into people, like me, who don't fall for your cunning plan. Now get out of here! Go find someone a little more gullible, I mean generous. Those two are interchangeable, right?
