napoleonherselfWe hit the library about an hour ago so mecha could pick up a book that'd come in; I waited out in the car. It was raining at a fairly good clip. As I waited out there, along came a mother and her three daughters, the youngest maybe 7 and the older two probably 10 or 11.
They were walking through the rain to their van, parked nose-to-nose with our car. Mom was lugging an armful of books, and one of the older daughters had a comic book. She was holding it so it was open. Facing up, as though she were reading it, except she wasn't -- she was talking with her sisters.
She cheerfully strolled over to their van, stood by it chattering with the others for a moment, and then finally got in.
All the while holding the comic open. In the rain.
Mom didn't seem to care, of course. Why should she? It wasn't HER property that her little darling was ruining.
See, this is what I'm talking about. Some people SHOULD NOT BREED.
