I was talking with my 7 year old, Genevive, about what black Friday is and why we celebrate Thanksgiving and what were thankful for, etc etc... Im grateful that as far as I can tell, were doing our job right, raising our kids. lol. She asked why it is more important for people to shop then spend time with their families and be thankful for their friends and families and health and why would anybody think its ok to shop and make other people work? (she came up with that by herself..) So, I told her about the 2 women in California who have been outside of a Best Buy since November 4th, waiting for a tv that usually sells for $499, to be $199. She did the math on that and asked how much work they missed in the 19 days, soon to be 24 days, and what they would have gotten paid. Then she asked how they are eating and so we looked it up and read a story about them, complete with photos of these 2 women all snuggled up with lots of snacks. (It appears to be fast food items) Then Genevive went nuts and asked what I think they are spending each day on food. So we averaged $15 per person per day lol and Im more then certain its much more then that, so, then we figured they spent or will spend, $360 each, during the 24 days on food. (Id double that to be honest.) and theyre each allowed 1 tv set at Best Buy, where they will save $300 each. Besides the $ spent to save $, Genevive asked who is taking care of their houses, work, bills, kids, grandkids, (we dont know about their personal lives but wth) and also, where do they take showers and pee??? Genevive decided that she thinks people are disgusting (we did discuss that not everybody is this way.) but lol she said, So, basically, what we have here, is a world full of idiots who will sit and wait for weeks to spend money to save money to spend even more money on a tv, which is part of their problem. I do like tv but I am not 1 of these stupid people who sits with my mouth open, moving my head from side to side, without blinking, to stare at a stupid screen! LOL then we chatted about that for a minute or so and she went on to say, I cant stand this place. Why doesnt somebody do something about these stupid people, well, they arent even people! They are like, stupid robot zombies who only move when they want to eat gross food or shop! Mom, somebody has to stop this. OMG its like they lost their brains and they dont even care about anything but food and shopping!
