The closest decent mall is over an hour away. I took the Boys there Saturday to do some Shopping, my son insisted he had to get his girlfriend a certain CD that could only be found at the mall.
I hate malls at Christmas. Russians in kiosks spraying perfume at you or trying to flat iron your hair, Mediterranean people that tell you you need a bottle of pubic hair moisturizer. Parents that stand in line for hours, so they can stick their kid on some old guys lap and watch them shriek in terror. Good times, I tell you, good times.
I made the mistake of going over to the Hickory Farms kiosk. I was giddy enough to buy $200.00 worth of smoked sausage & cheese spread. I have no idea why I thought I needed that much sausage & cheese spread, but damn I got it now.
The step daughter handed me a list of toys that the grandbrats supposedly want for Christmas. I never knew that 4 & 6 year olds were desperate for video games that are rated M to be used on a PS4 console that the kids aren't even allowed to use.
I told her I was all done shopping for the grandbrats & nothing I bought them was on the list. She says 'well we told them that you guys were going to buy this stuff for them, they will be disappointed if they don't get anything on their list'. I told her they'd better get used to being disappointed, as both their parents SUCK. She hasn't bothered me in a week now. Oh the bliss.
