Anybody hear about the southcenter shootings yesterday? Well, my mom and dad were shopping there when they heard 2 gunshots. Instantly my dad and mom were looking for the fastest way out of Penney's. My mom had 2 pairs of jeans that she was carrying to buy for my dad. She somehow thought she would have time to pay for them on their way out! When she came to her senses, she tossed them in the women's department and they were able to race outside, find their vehicle and get out of there before the lockdown. It turns out that someone shot 2 people and I think one person died. I feel for the parents of these teenagers.
My mom called me to let me know about the shootings and that they were close to it, but just fine. My dad's comment in the background was, "Retirement is exciting!" Dad can always find a way to make us laugh.
This brings back another memory of a similar situation when we were kids at the Puyallup Fair. All of a sudden, my dad grabs my sister in a football hold and tells me to hold onto his jacket. My mom is right there also and we are running. Our eyes are instantly watering and snot is flowing out of our noses! My dad and mom think it is some kind of poison. So we are running out of the fair, past people that were not exposed to it, probably wondering why these people are running for their lives covered in snot. It turns out that someone let off tear gas!
