Stop Lieing

Okay so I went to Shoppers Drug Mart today and was going to develope some pictures...My lips were really chapped though so I first decided to go to the cosmetics section to buy some chap stick. One of the cosmeticians was talking to an elder lady about face creams. One was $89.00 and the other was a Clinique $56.00 one. So the employee was trying to convice the elder lady that the more expensive one was worth it, that it did a better job, and it was better for your skin.
Wow! Is all I have to say. This poor older lady who clearly knew nothing about face cream was being manipulated by this employee who clearly felt no sympathy for her. She was clearly just trying to sell the more expensive product. The higher priced bottle carried less cream than the Clinique (which is actually a good product).
I just found it sad that this poor lady is left stuck with two creams in her hand not knowing which to choose from, after taxes the more expensive cream would have been about $100.00 . Who would even spend that much on a little bottle of face cream? Anyways I put my two scents into the conversation and I told the lady "You should go for the Clinique, my mom uses it and it works just fine." My mom does not use it she uses a $30.00 Olay one and it does the job just fine. I know I did a white lie, but hey I saved the lady $50.00 that she could use for something more 'worth it.'

How Many?

My little brothers, whom are twins are constantly battleing it out amongst each other. One minute they love each other and the next they're pulling each others hair out. Fortunately, living in the same house with the rug rats I get to hear all their entertaining conversations. The first one I thought I should share is based on girls.
I came home one day and in order to get to my room, I pass by my brother's room. His door was closed and both of them were in there. They were arguing about how one of them hasn't kissed as many girls as the other. I was laughing histerically; First of all, they are thirteen, do they even know what kissing is?? Secondly I know for a fact that one of them is way to shy to even talk to a girl. So they were arguing back in forth saying stuff like "NO YOU DIDN'T KISS CLARA! YOU'RE A LIAR!" and then the other one arguing back "FINE, BUT I ALMOST DID." I found this aboslutely hilarious. Two little teen boys arguing about who has kissed more girls. Being a pest, I opened the door and starting making fun of both of them. I was laughing so hard and tormenting my poor little brothers for being big losers discussing who kissed more girls. The conversation still did not end there. Stephen (one of my brothers) was still hung up on the fact that Aris (the other brother) was lieing about how many girls he had kissed. He was accusing him of lieing and calling him names. Really, why do they even care? I find their conversations so entertaining, and I just thought i should share them with you, to make you laugh too!

It's Your Turn

Once again, I need to share with you a conversation regarding my two little brothers. My parents give us "chores," around the house. My brothers have the responsibility of taking out the garbage. They hate it. I was getting ready to go to school, about to walk out the door and my mom yells from downstairs "Twins don't forget to do the garbage." Aris starts having a hissy fit whining to himself saying "I'm not doing it, no Stephen has to, I'm not doing it, why do we always have to do the garbage." So Aris finally after taking a breathe yells "Steve it's your turn!!" Stephen obviously has already jolted out of the house and was on his way to school. Aris was basically in tears from whinning and complaining how he HATES DOING THE GARBAGE. He was cursing Stephen under his breathe and when my mom came upstairs and act what all the banging was- which was my brother stomping, Aris acted all normal. He put on a straight face and then out of nowhere started complaining to my mom "I did it last time, it's not fair Stephen always makes me do it." I was once again laughing because my brother acted like such a baby, he was complaining to his mommy about taking out the garbage. The funnier thing was that he got off on it, and my mom made Stephen do the garbage when he came home for lunch.

I just find it funny how Aris got off on it from complaining and whinning, usually my mom would tell us to be quiet and do it. But then again, Aris is the little baby of the family, and from what you can see he is the $hi* disturber!
