the book mobile is not the same thing as a mobile fone. plus, you say the word differently.

people have the oddest concepts of privacy. this woman here in the coffee shop was talking - loudly - on her mobile about someone's hospice care. i just sat watching her, and she'd look at me like - what are you looking at? and, i would look at her like, hey - you are convoing in the beanery. sha! if you want to have a private convo, go to a private place. like, your home. sha. she is some sort of soccer mom who had a late lunch at 2pm so is having a protein bar for supper, and she is getting her kids dinner here at the beanery, and hunter is having quesadillas, and lily is having a b-l-t. lily is so tired, don't ya know, she will be going to bed as soon as she gets home. lily is sitting here, busily eating her b-l-t, actually chewing a bite, and mom says to her - finish up so we can go home. lily gave her the 5-year-old's version of "wtf" look. like, hey - mom - i have an actual bite in my actual mouth. mom is now getting up, taking lily's plate, and lily is still stuffing food in her mouth and trying not to let it get away. this is ridiculous. mom is all - lily was so hungry, look how fast she ate. right. um... mom? you pulled the food away. she was eating fast because the food was leaving her vicinity. people are weird.

next door to the mom is this guy all set up w/ his pc and his legal pad, and he is clearly Working with a capital W. he is a Busy Important Man. he kept shooting soccer mom these hush-hush looks. like, did he expect to be able to actually work in the beanery? was his expectation that it would be nice & peaceful here, and he could really knock out that to-do list? really? again, i feel compelled to point out - this is a public place. people come here to socialize, eat, use their computers, whatevs, but it is not a private office, and it is not a private fone booth, and if you people cannot discern what is a private space & what is a public space, i will just quickly enlighten you that this is public. do? you? get? it?
