Sort of an, “Okay, here– figure out what the hell was going on there.” My favorite was the time that I walked into the small at the same time two women were walking out. One of the women was carrying one of those giant chocolate chip cookie/ cake things, and saying very dramatically, “Well, I guess my life is just RUINED then.” And all I could think was, “I’ve never seen someone with a giant cookie/ cake frown before.”
