This so called life

A few weekends ago I was in the local mall. This mall happens to be a newer version of those that we all grew up with except now they have actual restaurants, cooler fake tile (if such a thing can be said), and wide aisles of yuppie shopping bliss. The latest "thing" in mall development apparently is creating quaint sitting areas filled with leather couches, over stuffed chairs, generic patterned rugs, and gaudy table lamps.

While this is all well and fine I typically ignore these areas, as....um.....duh....I'm in a mall!!

However, on this particular weekend in question I did overhear something amusing which gave me a whole new perspective on the latest in mall development.

Overheard:

Five Year Old Girl: Mom!
Mother of Said Five Year Old Girl: (ignoring Five Year Old Girl)
Five Year Old Girl: Mom!
Mother of Said Five Year Old Girl: (once again ignoring Five Year Old Girl)
Five Year Old Girl: MOM!!!
Me Thinking: Jesus lady HELLO!
Mother of Said Five Year Old Girl: WHAT!?!
Five Year Old Girl: *gasp* Look at all the living rooms in this place!

Kid world perception rocks!

NOTE: It took me 18 words to describe the aforementioned "living room". It took the kid 2.
