stray

i went to ritter's yesterday to get some ice cream. i haven't felt like eating much this week, so this was my one big meal of the day (which afterwards made me feel like dying). when i pulled into the parking lot, on my way to the drive-thru, i saw a woman absentmindedly swinging her baby behind her in an infant seat, like an unimportant bag of groceries. i pulled over as soon as i got my ice cream and recorded this observation for later use--in a story or something. this is probably as far as it will make it.
