People can be so weird... hope my parents weren't like this!!
Oh my goodness, the strangest family came into Marina's Gelato tonight. A couple came in with three young boys, normal looking. They were looking at the gelato when they suddenly recognized someone they knew sitting at a table. So, of course they start talking. It sounded like it had been a long time since they had seen each other and were obviously catching up on the times. Then the couple said something that I hope they were meaning in a joking kind of way... They said that they had been doing this and that and that they had been learning about baby making. I was totally taken off guard. BABY MAKING? How old are we here? And the fact that I actually heard them loud and clear from where I was standing means that they were talking exceptionally loud. Sometimes it's even hard to hear what someone is saying over the counter, nevermind from across the store.
And then after they get there gelato and everything is fine and dandy, the dad comes in with the two older sons (probably 3 & 5 or so) and asks to use the bathroom. I point him in the direction and all three of them go in together. Okay, that's normal. Then the mother comes along with the youngest son (probably 1 or 2), and I didn't really recognize her, and I said that there was already someone in the bathroom and she said that it was her husband. Well, okay. But, then she opens the door and goes in. So now, there are 5 people in our tiny bathroom. I mean, okay, it is a bit bigger than an airplane toilet and we all know that two people have managed to fit in there with a little bit of room for "movement." But, this was an entire family who were not trying to join the Mile High Club. So, after 5 minutes or so, after Sarah and I wondered how on earth that many people were jammed in there and giggled a bit, they emerged. It was just really odd is all. Sarah and I joked that maybe they were learning about potty training. But at their ages... we were hoping not.
