I don't know what it is about me..perpetual youth or perhaps perpetual immaturity, but I find certain things funny that others would find tremendously unpleasant. I suppose those people would be called grownups.

Anyhow, I had to go out at the lunch break from insurance school today and buy Daniel a graduation present. He is graduating from the eighth grade and I suppose in some strange way we celebrate that, the matriculation from middle-school to high-school. I will sit in 100 degree heat on pavement and suffer through the class president trying to sound grownup as he or she discusses the role of the eighth grader in making the world a better place (as long as they are home in time for Mom to make dinner). I digress. I went over to Fry's Electronics, a local electronics superstore and picked out a new 13" color television for Dan. As I was browsing through the huge display of Japanese technology at its best and brightest, a wave of need passed through my very soul and I made my way to the Men's room. I busied myself in inner contemplation while reading the back door of the stall. Finally having cleansed my soul (so to speak) and being past ready to leave the area, I stood to leave. As I leaned over to flush the john, my sunglasses slipped from their perch on the front of my shirt and tumbled down into the soup! I stood suddenly transfixed at the site of my shades floating in the mix. I was torn between my two idiosyncracies, cleanliness and cheapness. Should I wade into the mess to get the shades or move on and buy a new pair of glasses?Being the miser that I am I finally dove in fished them out, walked them about three feet from my body over to the sink and washed them under some scalding hot water. I bought the tv and quickly went on to the rest of my day. I don't know why, perhaps because this sort of thing only happens to me, but I found it blog worthy.
