...or it might have been morning. But anyway, my two brothers and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things real quick. Nevermind the fact that, in reality, I only have a step-brother and a step-sister and they weren't involved. Anyhow, I don't know if I was the middle brother (in age) or the oldest, but I wasn't the youngest. There was this sale on ice cream: buy 2 get 1 free. But, for some reason, you the way it worked was that the cashier had to scan all three within a three minute time limit. So we quickly pick two and I tell them to grab a third and meet me at the checkout within three minutes so we could get out of there asap. The cashier scans my two and I'm sitting there waiting for a good five minutes when I decide I better go see what's up. I go back and find them just kinda moseying around the ice cream section, talking. Not even looking at ice cream much less having picked one. I was pissed. I start yelling at them that I couldn't believe they hadn't picked something by now and that they totally blew it because now it's been way more than three minutes and the deal is gone. They're all "I don't care. Nothing looks good. You pick." So I take a deep breath, getting a hold of myself, realize that we could just start all over with our whole order and still get the 3 for 2 deal, and start browsing...still irritated and grumbling to myself under my breath. I'm still looking when the youngest brother (played by my best friend, Keith) goes whipping by on a mini dirtbike - the kind you peddle, not motorized. Keith is kind of small himself but he still dwarfed the bike he was riding. So I, getting more irritated by the second, start venting to this woman who's also looking at ice cream. "We already had two! All they had to do was pick one more, but noooo..." And that's when the other brother (either middle or oldest) taps me on the shoulder and interrupts, "Dude, you have to see this!", pointing to the checkout lanes in the front of the store. I turn around just in time to see Keith ride by the front of the checkouts on that mini bike. Only, now he's wearing a mask and tights, dressed up as Rey Mysterio Jr, the famous wrestler, and he's making some kind of high-pitch noise that sounded like "yee! yee! yee!". And right behind him was Freddy Krueger, or at least someone dressed just like him - mask, glove, hat, outfit, the whole thing - on a slightly larger bike, snarling with his hand pulled back like he wants to attack. And then, right behind him, a clown - multi-colored fro, ridiculous outfit, big red nose, etc - honking the annoying little horn on the handlebar of his slightly larger bike. The three of them were just tearing circles around the checkout area as fast as they could go on the bikes. I realized that my mouth was hanging wide open and I start cracking up, forgetting all about the ice cream dilemma because it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. That's where it ended.
