Things I Learned On My Lunch Break...

Today I spent lunch at Kohl's - in search of a new pair of shades.
Of course, the line was LOOOOONG and, as is normal with a long line, some ladies started chatting!
And from this chatter, this is what I've learned:

- It's "normal" for 8th graders to carry Coach and Dooney & Burke handbags
- It's also "normal" for these children to LOSE these expensive clutches
which are then turned into "lost and found" in the school office
- The ladies in line thought that 8th graders should not be given these bags,
as they are far too expensive
- Apparently, it's also "normal" for all 4th graders to carry cell phones
- The ladies in line thought that only the "latchkey kids" should have cell
phones
- These same ladies think it's perfectly normal for 8th graders to have cell
phones

Am I the only one who thinks something is TERRIBLY wrong here?????
