1. Talk.
2. Clicky pen. Clicky click clicky click.
3. Rattle paper. (You need the paper so you can take notes with the clicky pen.)
4. Roll your program into a tube. Unroll it. Do it again.
5. Try styling your hair in to a ponytail. Comb through it with your fingers and smooth it out a bunch.
6. Now roll your hair around the clicky pen like it’s a curling iron.
7. Eat pretzels.
8. Put your feet up on the railing in front of you and reposition the rattly paper and clicky pen.
9. Yawn. Yawn largely, using your entire body and stretching your arms above your head.
10. Apply fragrant hand lotion.
11. Sneak cookies and cocoa in to the theater. Dip your cookie into the cocoa and slurp it off.
12. Then, slurp your cocoa to make sure you get the last bit in the cup.
13. Scratch yourself.
14. Dig for the crinkly plastic water bottle in your purse and make sure to move your car keys several times.
15. Clean your fingernails with the clicky pen.
16. Bounce. Bounce both of your knees and your fingers in time to the music. Or not. Random is fun too.
Being the well brought up woman that you are, you did not throw her over the railing. I am proud of you!
What…no Bubble Gum? I think either of my two children would have been better seat mates :)
I did glare at her and shush her. I am sure she went home and complained to her friends about the grumpy old lady who glared at her. Thank goodness she didn’t pull out her cell phone and start texting. I was sure that was next.
We sat next to a tool at one of the Brahms concerts last season who kept checking his iPhone. I couldn’t help notice (as he was sitting right next to me) that is was iTunes he was looking at. Shakira or Britney Spears or something like that.
He had a water bottle that required him to slurp as well.
He was wearing a suit and looked for all the world like a grownup. Just didn’t act like one.
