I can't believe I know someone that had a baby. I think it makes growing up seem all the more real. This weekend I've also discovered that at least two more people I know are engaged and both are just a shade over 21-years-old. It makes me wonder what the future will bring. Hopefully not a shit-ton of divorces.

I overheard the following conversation while I was checking out at Blockbuster today. But first, here's the brief set-up: I'm standing next in line while an older couple stands in front of me at the counter. There's a man behind the register ringing them up. I overheard them discussing something having to do with $2.30. I don't know if this is a late fee or the total cost of a rental. Either way, this is what ensues:

"$2.30 is just $2.30," says the employee.
"Yeah, it doesn't really matter does it?" says the female customer. "I mean what is $2.30 anyway?"
"It's double $1.30," responds the employee after a moment's pause

I would have laughed out loud if I wasn't doing that mental math in my head.
