I haven't posted in awhile because Mr. Pants and I have been super busy spending every waking moment in Lowes, where we'll blow close to $500, only to come home set up the new thing and have Al on his path of destruction knock it the fuck down.
But yesterday I decided to go over to the Game Stop and put a reserve on Mario Kart & Lego Indiana Jones for the Wii. I go in and get in line behind super mom, who is purchasing GTA vice city for her probably under 7 year old. The Game Stop Associate is being as polite as she can, telling Super Mom "this is really bad, like REALLY bad. There's cursing and killing and guns and..." Super Mom "Just ring it up, he's okay". If that kids shoots up his school, she'd be the first to say it was because of violent video games - but whatever! He's your lil' delinquent in the making.
As I am standing there waiting patiently, in walks a woman with a three year old and a baby in a car carrier. She comes in and stands between me and super mom and immediately starts yelling at the 3 year old. The little kid is cute, blonde hair, blue eyes, very chatty. She keeps telling her mom "I love you and I'd really like some popcorn". The mom keeps saying "you aren't getting any popcorn because you aren't standing right next to me". Now, I am not a fan of loud talkers in the morning and this line butting bitch was screeching at her kid. Once super mom wrapped up her transaction and headed out to buy crack for her kids, Screechy stepped up to the register, whipped out a game and did her yell / talk to the Game Stop Associate "My husband bought this and he doesn't realize that we can't be wasting our money on things like this - We have children!" Looks pointedly at the little girl, who is now shoving her hands into the baby carrier and singing "The baby doesn't want to live anymore, the baby doesn't want to live" in a rather melodic tone.
"WHAT ARE YOU SINGING?"
Little kid (With that duh! I'm singing pretty fucking clear here mommy look): "The baby doesn't want to live anymore, the baby doesn't want to live".
"WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT MEANS?"
Lil Kid: "The baby wants to die".
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?"
Me (out loud): "Because she's going to murder the baby".
