Let's see...Men hate it. TWO reasons why men go to the mall 1. their on a mission for a gift (easy to spot -they have a list or have a look of confusion). 2. They are there to update their post divorce/breakup wardrobe...you KNOW I'm right!
Women - Women go for several rsns; 1. their bored w/ their life. 2. their unhappy w/ something so try to purchase happiness -ladies this usually results being more unhappy if your trying on clothes. 3. they are there showing off their Starbucks paper cups to all the mall employees, that crave a Starbucks in a mall that doesnt have one (ok, this is how WE mall employees view it). 4. The latest fashion magazine issues came out, so they must go get that new trend showing up this season...OMG, wait guess what?? You're not the only one - 5. I know I left something out -please add other rsns (yawn -its late)
Mom's - moms go because they HAVE to get out of the house! So putting your child in a constrained stroller seems the best option..wait, what, huh? Now you want to go BACK home, because your child is publicly "fussy" I'm thinking a park or playground might have been the better option -just sayn
Teens - teen girls unattended being dropped off.....Oh, Let me tell you WHAT they do. This is were they have that bad boy you dont like to meet them at, so they can hang out. They say "OMG" and "I love that" , "you're pretty/no you're pretty"..A LOT and tell all their friends when they are trying on clothes how fabulous she looks in it, they flirt with the much older boys working at Hollister and Abercrombie -which, BTW they think your 14 yr old is 17. They shop Victoria's Secret. This I don't really understand -"This usually is where you shop for your undergarments if you want them to be 'seen'. How many times do men walk in there w/ smiles on their faces to make a purchase and merely sprint out the door to deliver the 'gift'?! I dont get it...but, eh this is just a bit of what I see -the good girls are not as exciting to write about -yes, mom and dad they don't ALL do this. But, unless they can drive themselves to the mall -it's not a hang out for your kids all afternoon. Have a mother/daughter day instead and take them shopping with you.
teen boy's - if you want to be surrounded by a plethora of girls, go to the mall on a Saturday afternoon or after school -for reals...girls just loooove to give you guy's a new look :-)...BUT beware of the Abercombie male models in the front window - they love to show their abs, so keep your girl AWAY!!
I cannot close this post w/out warning you that the mall bathrooms are a human petri dish!! Their gross and smelly. Parent's PLEASE NEVER EVER EVER SEND YOUR YOUNG CHILD IN THERE ALONE!!
I can so relate to the "I'm unhappy so I'll go to the mall and get a new outfit ... 2 hrs. later, I'm MORE unhappy because I've been trying on clothes" syndrome! Better to just meet a friend, have some wine and laugh -- THAT always makes me feel better! Nice blog friend!
