You know, Paul. I have a theory. Once you're a parent, you're never alone again. Even if they're thousands of miles away. You still check in your head and heart for them, account for them all the time. Speaking of other worlds.... I've been reading about evolution v. creationism on the net. Then I come here and read Michael's MU post and wow-all realities are spinning. Who are we REALLLLLLY????

I just had the weirdest trip to the PetSmart. I was standing in line cradling my 20 pound bag of Hill's Science Diet and the man in front of me said to the girl, "I want my money back for my green snake. It died." And she said, "How old it was it?" He said, "I don't know, but I bought it only two weeks ago and don't you have a 30 day warranty?" She said, "Well, yes, but I don't know what our reptile warranty is." "Well, here's the receipt," he says putting a piece of paper down. I notice it says 19.99. Blue can find him one cheaper than that. "And here's the snake." And he puts an envelope down. She picks it up. "It's in here? Wasn't very big. Was it in good health when you got it?" "How would I know?" said the man. "Well, do you want your money back or do you want another snake?" "THis is the second one we've had die. I think I want my money back. my son is getting upset." (We all know how heartbreaking it can be for a child to lose a pet, don't we, especially a cuddly, loving 6 inch green snake) SHe gives him back his money. THe snake she puts in the cash register -I hope she remembers. THe phone rings as I heave the cat food up on the counter. SHe says into the receiver, "PetSmart." Pause. "Oh dear" Pause "Well don't do it again." Pause"Oh. Well, that's good." "Well, maybe he's starting to like you." SHe put the phone down and says,"Some man said he put his finger up to the gerbil's cage and the gerbil bit him. ("Oh dear") ANd he didn't know what to do. ("Don't do it again")Then he said that it happened two months ago.(Oh, well, that's good") But now he's worried because when he put his finger up to the cage, the gerbil doesn't bite him anymore." (He's starting to like you?") I thought I lived an odd life, but maybe not.
