Today is the longest day of the year and the shortest post I’ve made. I am often long-winded so today’s commentary will be short and sweet, potentially bordering on sarcastic or snarky and perhaps smacking of a bit o’ wit. Bill Shakespeare quipped that “brevity is the soul of wit” … so here goes. As we now head toward Winter and all things snowy, cold and frozen, let me segue to the frozen foods section at Meijer which provided the fodder for today’s post. This morning, after walking several laps around the store for exercise, I headed over to the frozen foods area to cool off. While I was perusing the popsicles and fudgesicles, a woman and two young boys happened along. She suggested to them to “go get you somethin’” and then they pushed past me, opened the freezer door and reached in. They snatched up a box of Snickers Ice Cream Bars, tore the end flap open and took out two treats, one for each of them. They unwrapped and enjoyed their frozen filched bars while walking next to whom I presume was their mother. I am sure my mouth gaped open. How selfish they didn’t include mom in their pilferage!! I next caught up with them at the self-serve checkout. No, the rest of the box was not in their cache of groceries they were paying for. Ms. Manners would shudder at this incident. I was appalled. Just sign me: Not SNICKERing in Lincoln Park.
