Today I was really tired at work, having gone to the midnight screening of The Room last night with a few friends. I went to sleep around 3am. Oh well. Side note: if you want to laugh REALLY hard, you should see this movie. It's the worst movie I've ever seen. You couldn't make a movie this bad on purpose. The writer/director/star claims it's a black comedy, but it's clear he meant it to be an emotional drama. It's hilarious, and the audience participation makes it so much funnier. I have never laughed so hard at a movie. It's been playing for 7 years at the Sunset Laemmle theater, and all 5 theaters show the movie at once. The line was super long, and all the theaters were pretty full.
Anyway, as I was saying, I was sleepy at work and helping out on the cash wrap because it was getting crowded and busy. A woman and her baby (18 months) come up to the register. I'm fiddling with her transaction - she has two coupons so she wants two different transactions, so I'm concentrating on that and only looking up briefly, and her baby, who has longish, curly hair, keeps swiping the credit card. It's very cute. "She's going to be a little shopper!"
The mother says, "Actually, he's a boy."
Oops. Sah-ry, lady. She didn't seem mad at all, and I laughed it off like it didn't happen. I do feel a little bad, and my coworkers were shocked and said that was awful, but dammit, if you want your child to be easily recognizable, cut his hair and dress him in all blue with a shirt that says "It's a boy!!" Otherwise, babies kinda look the same. Honestly, would you be THAT offended if someone mistook the sex of your baby? My coworker said to me, "I get offended when someone thinks my DOG is a boy! She wears a pink collar!"
I stand by my statement - maybe HE'S going to be a little shopper!
