Today: Protest indoor scooting

Sometimes people have babies.  It’s always nice to buy them things.  Bad Elizabeth and I went shopping for our friend’s soon to be born baby last night.  Am I insane, or is Magic Beans the most terrifying store on the planet?

There was stuff everywhere: diaper genies, stuffed giraffes, something called an Ugly Doll , approximately 900 plastic horses, plus two screaming children on Razor scooters.  Do I need to mention that this is an indoor establishment?  Scooters.  In a store.  This planet has gone to pot.

You don’t see me rollerblading around the liquor store or Paper Source (grown up equivalents of a toy store), playing a harmonica and touching anyone and anything within reach, do you?  That doesn’t mean I don’t want to, but rather that I probably wouldn’t get away with it.  Any of it.  Especially the harmonica, though.

Are the secrets to shopping at toy/baby stores that I should be aware of? And what the Hello Kitty is an Ugly Doll?!
