We were seated at the theater, waiting for Prince Caspian to begin. All around us, loud and fluffy-headed teenagers from the local Abercrombie Posse. Beside us, a mother and daughter with more money than sense. The daughter reserved a seat between them and us specifically for her pink leather Coach purse, and remarked loudly how upset she would be if soda were spilled on it. After all, "It COST $300 DOLLARS," she loudly proclaimed.
My daughter, ever alert to irony, caught my eye and we shared a look of total understanding. Why on earth would anyone buy such an over-priced and ugly piece of luggage? And, if you were going to spend that kind of money, why pink?
Then she leaned in and whispered:
"Mom...we're surrounded by idiots."

How old is your daughter? My daughter is 22, she would of leaned over and said to the girl, "excuse me, you better move your ugly pink Hanna Montana purse. You wouldn't want soda spilled on it, would ya?"
