Under no circumstance was he to drop into EB for a spontaneous Guitar Hero session.
Who: John and OPEN
What: Spill your groceries and chat with John!
Where: The Mall
When: Thursday Afternoon
Rating: Grandma Safe
Open? Yes.
John was under strict orders from Faith; bread. Or specifically, go to the grocery store, pick up a loaf of bread and bring it home. Under no circumstance was he to drop into Electronics Boutique for a spontaneous Welcome to the Jungle Guitar Hero session. Under no circumstance was he to stop by the pet store and teach the exotic birds naughty words. Under no circumstance was he to wind up in Blockbuster and rent out Demolition Man for the seventeenth time. Under no circumstance was he to forget why he was at the mall, become distracted and end up carrying on a conversation with the old couple who worked at the barber shop. It was a long list of under no circumstance, and unfortunately John had already forgotten all but the one about the exotic birds, purely because when it had been uttered by the wife-fiance of his best-friend, he had thought to himself, “What a magnificent idea, I should call Lori and tell her about it”
Which is exactly what John Conrad was doing. Sitting on a bench in the main foyer of the mall, chatting away on his cell phone excitedly to his girlfriend as they discussed and debated what phrases would be the most valuable for a parrot to learn, “Nah” he spoke into the phone as he watched the easter crowds bustle around him, “I still think; ‘Show us your tits’ should definitely be in the top five, number five at the very least - ‘Quit yo jibber jabber’ should be number one - because if I were-” his voice trailed off as his sight settled on a stranger in the crowd who seemed to be struggling with their groceries - he could definitely see a disaster coming. As if on cue, the bag broke, sending various food products in several directions. Saying goodbye to Lori, John hung up before rushing over to help.
Reaching down, he picked up a apple, “Thirty second rule” he replied holding it out to the stranger, “It’s still good”
