Tales of muppets, rock stars, and paleontologists

Bri and I decide to take a stroll down to Wild Oats Market to participate in a well known little sport called people watching. We purchase some salad and soup and then go to the top floor in which a view of the entire store and everyone in it is accessible

First comes Beaker. You know…beaker the Muppet? Yes… there is an employee of Wild Oats Market that looks remarkably like beaker. Next is bread boy. He analyzes and investigates every loaf of bread as if it is a choice that will lead him to his death if not cautious. He picks one loaf of bread continues to walk away and abruptly stops turns and chooses a different loaf of bread on several different occasions. Finally after repeating the analyzing, investigating, choosing, and returning he decides on the very first one he chose.

Next is all the intriguing little kids running around. We have a family that consists of Rocks Star and Paleontologist. The little girl of about age 3 has tight spandex pants that have designs of stars all over, a cool shirt, long blonde hair, and sunglasses. She pushes a little cart around following her mother and brother paleontologist. Paleontologist carries with him a fanny pack, tight beige pants that go to his belly button and glasses. An interesting duo indeed!

Then comes along Beanie Girl, she has the coolest little outfit ever, talks like a Muppet, and pushes a mini cart around that reads, “customer in training.” She stands next to the boy who looks like the kid off Jerry Maguire. Yes…it’s all true. Beanie Girl then proceeds to pick up off the floor what looks like a dried apricot, she tugs on her mother’s shirt to show her. I proceed to tell Bri that I hope Beanie Girl doesn’t eat the strange item on the floor, the next thing I know the mother of Beanie Girl grabs the item and eats it herself!

Needless to say it was a wonderful day of people watching in which I hope to do again soon!
