Books.

I'll have to admit that yesterday while sitting in Barnes and Noble sipping my cinnamon dolche latte, doing homework, I stereotyped someone. I know that you should really try not to do that, and I really try not to.... Here's the story

I was sitting in Barnes and Noble, like I said, and watching people...because that's what I do. I think you can learn a lot about people by what they're reading. *I was working on lesson plans reading Three Little Pigs. What does that say about me? I looked up and saw a man with motorcycle clothing and thought, he is probably reading about cars or motorcycles....I was right. Then I was looking at a young girl, she was drinking coffee, wearing all black and dark makeup...My thoughts were she's probably reading 1. A romance novel, or 2. A book about dracula. She was reading a romance novel. So I thought, hey, I could do this all day long!

I then see an Amish man walking towards me, I think to myself....I bet he's reading something about construction. WRONG! I look up and he has a huge stack of books and the top title was, "Big Book of Dirty Jokes." I'm not going to play that game anymore.

I felt like a horrible person, but I laughed a little inside thinking of all the men working outside, and this particular man throwing out all these dirty jokes. :)
