Bus Conversation

Ok so I'm getting used to it. Just a little. The stuffy air, the fake leather seats, crazy/funny people. Papa and I took the bus downtown to REI(the biggest REI I've ever seen). I felt a lot more comfortable with Papa there. Papa and I have a shared interest in people-watching, so this was a great time to do it. There were these people that walked on: a large oldish lady with a dried rose and a pocket dog, and a middle aged man with a transparent plastic backpack.
Lady: Would you put my rose in the bag?
Man: it will get crushed.
Lady: Not if your careful it wont get crushed
Man: it will get crushed
Lady: Why don't you help me out a little. What do you expect me to do holding my rose and my cane, and the dog all day. What do you expect me to get done.
Man: I'm just telling you the truth.
Lady: Why do you always start these stupid arguments when all you have to do is take a little responsibility? Just don't set the bag down on the front.
Man: I'm just telling you what will happen.
Lady: Come on just put it in the front pocket where there's a little air bubble... no not that one, the one behind it... the medium pocket. Yah. Thank you(sarcasticly)
Man(under his breath): it'll get crushed.
Lady(rolls her eyes, sighs, awkward silence): What the Hell! why don't you just try to help me out.
Silence.

Papa and I were doing whatever we could not to crack up at this point. When they got off, we burst out laughing and joked the rest of the day about it. Papa mocked them by giving me a hard time all day. sigh.... those times:)
So we went to REI and looked around a bit on the three stories, went down to the bargain basement where I got a knew pair of hiking shoes for only $20.00. We tryed to look for Mad Bomber hats for Stefan and Aimee for their B-days, but there were only girly quilted ones and they weren't even real mad bombers. That sucked but oh well.
We checked out Seattle's Best Caffe Latte and I got a mocha, but I couldn't taste the coffee. mmm velvet foam:) It rained. We visited Bethany's work, Brasa, but she wasn't there yet. We just said high to her friends and stopped by a patagonia store where Papa got Stefan some Magic Underwear...
Then we took the bus back to Ballard where we checked out a video store. We decided that it's our new replacement for Insomniac Video from SLO. Boone, Aimee and Stefan picked us up from there to go home.

Oh Yah. Yesterday was Stefan's birthday. He's twelve. Happy Birthday stefan:)
