Dear Blonde Girl:
Yesterday my husband and I thought we would go downtown with the kids in separate strollers and enjoy some sales without the frenzy of Boxing Day being the day before....we do this every year (well, this year being the first with two kids).
We were in the Game Store in the Forum, and you were there with your long straight hair and bangs cut above your eyebrows, possibly a facial piercing (that may have been a mole/beauty mark) near your chin, a brown huge purse that was supposed to look like an old school radio (by "old school" I mean way before you were born....me too) complete with metal knobs on it and you had a greasy-shoulder-length-haired boyfriend with you.
Anyways....I was in the process of leaving the Game Store because it was getting too crowded and almost bumped into you. I apologized sheepishly and began to spin my youngest out of the store in his pram and you decided to be cute and say, "Are you staying or are you going?!" in English with a frustrated tone in your voice. (This maneuver took all of 3 seconds for me to complete by the way).
I would like you to know a few things:
A) It's ridiculously difficult to do a 180 or 360 degrees turn with a stroller/pram that does not have rotating wheels. Borrow a pram and try it....
B) It's ridiculously difficult to do it in a tight space when people LIKE YOU don't make space and decide to just stand there and watch me try to not bump into you....you seriously could've backed up a whole 5 centimeters and none of this would have been posted on my blog....
C) I hope you read this and realize I did understand what you said but I said nothing and decided to write about you in this blog. (And it's not because of your funky bag either...)
D) You could have backed up to make space for me, kept your mouth shut until I was well out of ear-shot range (seriously you were less than 15cm/6 inches away from me) to make your comment or even better, walked around me (I'm not that big)...Sorry this is a slight repeat of "B" and "C".
I am assuming you're Finnish and you were practicing your English or assumed I spoke Finnish and didn't want to offend me...thanks for the hidden compliment.... I guess.
Sincerely,
A Pissed-Off Pram Pusher
PS I thought your bag was a cute idea but really hideous...just an FYI.
