A trip to the dollar store

I know when I go into the dollar store that I am likely to encounter some interesting folks and today I did. I was there to get some things for baby Doodle's birthday party and while I was there I found some not-so-bad gardening gloves. The gloves were right next to the fake nylon and plastic flowers. There was a young woman shopping with her grandmother for some beautiful unrealistically colored fake flowers for her wedding or engagement party or some other important event. They discussed what flowers to get and the grandmother suggested getting tulips because "they are in season." In season! Who cares?!? They're FAKE! They also put a few glass vases in their cart.

Then, while I was waiting in the check out line some stranger two people back exclaimed to the group of us that there was a very nice looking Lexus in the parking lot. She wondered who it belonged to. The fake flower grandmother spoke up immediately to claim it as her granddaughter's. Why, why, why would someone who owns a noteworthy Lexus buy fake flowers at the Dollar Tree for her wedding or party? Interesting indeed.
