Groceries & Kiddy
I'm at a large
grocery store
with Allen. Without a
shopping list
, I'm just walking around looking for what's good. When I want some fresh fruit I have a hard time finding it. More
exotic
fare
like
star fruit
and
kumquat
s are easily visible, but I'm looking for some simple
apple
s. An employee points me towards a ladder, at the top of which I find a bag of apples, sitting on the topmost shelf, hidden from view. When we pass the book section, I get absorbed in the interesting reading material (certainly not standard grocery store crap). I grab a few books and head to the register with my cart. As the cashier runs each item over the
barcode
scanner, I learn that I've bought way more stuff than I intended. There're items I thought I put back (like a book by
Timothy Leary
) and even food I never saw. The total is over $200 but I'm not really upset as I pull away towards the parking lot.
I've just checked into my own
hotel room
and am lying on the bed watching
tv
. Just then, the door opens and a little kid, maybe 2 years old, comes waddling in with
curiosity
burning in his eyes. I smile as he walks around the room examining things. He comes to a book of mine and I show him the colorful
illustration
s. Then he gets ahold of the tv
remote control
and flips the channel to what is obviously a
pornographic movie
. I hesitate before just letting him do what he wants. Why should I impose my own
socially constructed
hang-up
s on his open mind? After awhile, he
waddle
s back out the door and I follow, escorting him back to his parents who are staying down the hall. They hadn't even noticed he was gone. When I return to my room, I see that the peculiar structure of my room's doorway (two steps go down to a
recessed
floor while part of the regular floor comes right up to the lowered door) allowed the kid to easily reach and turn the
door knob
. I smile and walk inside.
