The boyfriend and I took a ride on behalf of the dogs last night. To suburbia.
Of the many things I noticed during our voyage to this strange land, three stand out:
- I understand that we Americans have too much money and too few children, but I still feel guilty spending half my disposable income on pet products. I haven’t yet started with the puppy pinafores and the doggie do-rags, but I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time.
- The store formerly known as “The Bombay Company” has implemented a strategy of simplicity, shortening its name to “Bombay.” Perhaps the CEOs will consider a parallel strategy of accuracy and change the store’s name once more to “Mumbai.”
- As a general rule, I should know by now that when I ask a waitress at a Vietnamese restaurant to suggest “a little something sweet,” the glass of cracked ice, stringy gelatin, and candied plums she brings to the table will in no way resemble the dessert I’d envisioned.
