So mom and sis left today...all in all, it was a quick, uneventful trip. We went out to eat on Friday night...at ONE midtown kitchen. The food was heavy, the atmosphere was entirely too loud and I think there was a Jessica Simpson look-a-like conference happening at the table behind us, but it was fun, nonetheless. Saturday was spent driving all over Atlanta, doing some shopping, going to the HIGH and then having a most FABULOUS dinner at Floataway Cafe. Here's a little bit of our conversation home in the car.
Mom: Mary, what are all of these PEOPLE doing out on the street this late?
Mary: Well, mom, it is a city and you guys are staying across from the Fox theatre where Keith Urban was in concert.
Mom: I mean, there are a lot of black people in Atlanta!
Mary: yes, there are.
Mom: and they all drive such fancy cars...is that bass coming from your car?
Mary: Um, no.
Mom: My goodness, that is LOUD!
Mary: yes, it is very loud.
Elizabeth (sister): (rolling her window down) what is that smell?
Mary: (looking at Elizabeth with a "duh" expression)
Elizabeth: I think it might be a skunk.
Mary: I don't think it's a skunk. I believe midtown Atlanta solved the out-of-control skunk popluation problem in the late 80's.
Elizabeth: no, it really smells like a skunk.
Mary: you know what else smells like a skunk?
Elizabeth: I've SMELLED marijuana before...but THAT is a skunk.
Mary: You're probably right. I'm sure the car PACKED with people that is filled with smoke are probably just a bunch of skunk collectors going to the monthly saturday night skunk meeting in downtown Atlanta.
