god, money...
i know it's cold because my hands are freezy and there is chilly smell in the house. i got some new jeans and a new sweater. we went to bloomington today because i needed something nice for thanksgiving to wear, and when i was at the register, my mom paid for it and the bitchy 20-ish lady, with a fake smile, was all, "so she tries the clothes on and you shell out the money? my mom took me to the goodwill when i was a kid." oO she must not have seen me walk in the store. my mom was kind of pissed. she said, "uh.... she's sixteen" in a nice and cold way. i ended up telling my mom later i would have paid for my own clothes if i still had my job, and i really would have... :/
anyway, it made me feel selfish. nobody has ever said anything like that before, because usualy people know my history and that we used to not be so fortunate. i don't know.
also, when i asked where wet seal was, a lady said, "what kind of clothes are they? preppy? grungy?" and my MOM said, "oh, they're surfer/hipie/punky."
WHAT?!
i definitely walked out on that note, without even responding to that... comment. hahaha.... i felt sorry for my mother. she tries. [i hope she doesn't think i like "surfer/hippie/punky" clothes. take me to a headshop or one of those clothing stores run by an indian, usualy called "cool/hip/rare image", and i'll be happy.
i'm surprised you read down this far. thank you for doing so!
