So Lauren and I went out last night to grab dinner and just catch up. We had a great time at Chili’s and in an effort to keep the night alive stopped at Barnes and Nobles. In the midst of perusing the discount books, we saw a small child come around the corner with her arm attached to… you know who. Being the mature adults that we are…. I grabbed Lauren’s arm and we took off running… straight into the corner of the store. There was only one way in… and no way for us to get out without crossing her path. We had not thought this one out… we would not be good criminals…. because in the span of 3 seconds we had been reduced from mature adults to cornered children. Eventually after much giggling, we proudly strutted out from our corner and straight to freedom. It was empowering… comical… and all-around a typical Lauren/Laurel moment.
