The things you hear and see at the mall

Last night I took a training group to Mall of America. We use the mall for a "real world" look at stone and tile floors, how to identify what is on the floor and how you would maintain and or repair each floor type.

After dinner I wandered around the mall for a while.

First stop, and no surprise, DSW

The following conversation was taking place between 4 teenagers.

Girl 1: Like these shoes are totally cool
Girl 2: I would SO borrow those
Girl 3: Yeah, like you're talking about borrowing shoes and you haven't even bought them yet.
Girl 1: I don't even know what I am doing with these shoes. (she has 3 pairs in her arms)
They are like, so not my size, I don't even know what I was thinking.
Girl 2: Yeah, like what size do you wear
Girl 1: I don't know, like 7 or 71/2
Girl 2: So, like, why are you buying 8's?
Girl 1: I don't know, like, I don't even need them.
Girl 3: Ok, like these shoes are so ugly, they should be like 9 dollars
Girl 2: Or like 7 dollars they are so ugly
Girl 1: So, like, why do you have to be a size 8? I mean, it would be so much easier if you wore a 7.

You might be wondering where girl 4 is in this conversation, she was sitting on the floor digging toe jam out.

And then I banged my head against the nearest wall.

Then wandering back toward where I parked I walked past a store that sells wind-up toys and magnets. Three boys are standing there playing with some sort of fart toy

**Fart sound**
Insert stupid boy laughter
**Fart sound**
Insert more stupid boy laughter

I shook my head and walked on. Unfortunately on my way back I passed the same store with the same three boys still standing there:

**Fart sound**
Insert stupid boy laughter
**Fart sound**
Insert more stupid boy laughter

So then I left and called Girl J and told her I missed her. And that she really needed to be there with me tonight.
