Example of why nice guys finish last... Tarheel: Today is my mom's birthday, and I got her a new DVD player to put in her bedroom. Only problem is that she needed a converter to be able to hook it up to her older model TV with no A/V outlets. So me, Mom, and little one went to Wal-Mart to look for a converter.
And we're there, looking at aquariums first, since my dad got my daughter some fish last month and is looking to upgrade. We get done and we're walking back toward the middle of the store, and simulataneously, a girl that I guess went to school with my brother walks toward us in one direction, and my mom stops to talk to her...
...and from the other direction come the two girls in my Economics class that I've been trying to get the guts to approach for the last two months... alone, on a FRIDAY NIGHT!
I can't just walk away from Mom and leave her with little one. She's not her responsibility, but little one wants to be silly and run around. Mom keeps yapping, and I'm inching my way down toward the girls. They see me, but before I can even wave at them, they duck into the soap aisle. They're gone before Mom stops talking to this stupid girl, and then I take off to see where they went. I spot them on the other side of the jewelry section looking at some shirts or something, so I attempt to take the long way to get back to electronics, but little one takes off down the main aisle, and I gotta chase her.
Didn't see them after that. Best case sceanrio, they talk to me on Monday about it. Ugh...
