Okay, so I went to a less-busy one tonight and the
second I walked in the door I heard "Beat It" playing, so I followed it and found a bunch of stuff the other one didn't have - aviators, a new bracelet, a calendar, a TII commemoration book, and a Wal-Mart Opus (it wasn't called that, LoL, but it was pretty much their version.) Then these two little girls (about 3 and 5) walked by and stopped to watch and their mom said to their older brother "That's fine, they can stay here and watch Michael Jackson." and then they left them there, LoL, so I started talking to them and the littlest one said "Who's that?" (indicating to the cover of one of the J5 albums) and I said "That's him when he was a little boy." And she said "Oh. Is he big now?"
() And I said "Yeah, that was a long time ago." And her sister said "Yeah, he's a lot bigger. He's as big as my dad now. My dad is as tall as a tree." LoL. and then she said (pointing at the display with cds, books, etc.) "I have a lot of this in my room. I have more than all of this." And I was like "Omigosh, that's cool. I am so jealous." and we talked some more and their mom came and was trying to get them to go and was like "Y'all aren't tired of watchin' Michael Jackson yet?" and they were like "No." LoL. And then they said bye to me and left. Ahh, kids. :wub: Totally made my night ...But they had no idea that he's gone. And that made me super emotional, 'cause 1) I sure as heck wasn't gonna break it to them, they're
so young that there's no need. and 2) That's the first time since June that I've spoken to someone about him who didn't know.
