People Watching

A grocery store is the greatest place to "people watch. You can see the whole world and all its levels pass through a market. You will also find complete strangers asking you questions about products, or offering you unsolicited advice. I must have "employee" written on my forehead because everyone asks me where to find products and whether it's a good buy,etc.

Most women are good shoppers. I don't get upset when their kids are crying and hungry. I'm even tolerant when they hold up the express line while they search for 2 cents in change.

Men, on the other hand, are the most interesting specimens. You can tell a lot about them by what is in their cart. Interesting choices speak volumes. Some have lists (from wife) but now and then you'll see a man who knows exactly what he is doing. This man can cook and shop and budget. How do I know? Well, I have 3 sons and they all know how to cook, shop and budget. Yes, I know it is rare but I started teaching them these things early, along with my dau.-and I've never been sorry, nor have they.

You may or may not marry, but you always have to eat and keep up an apt. or house, Knowing how makes you 3 steps ahead in the game. So, smile at the next man you pass in the market, who knows what he is doing. He may be the "catch of the day."
