The MiniVan.

We picked up our used Toyota Sienna this morning. What a little moment of confusion. All the paperwork to understand. Plus we met this woman and she opened the van door and her two kids (ages: 3 and 5) are sitting in it. It just seemed kind of strange, you know like "what are you kids doing in my car". We are speculating that the couple selling us the car are getting a divorce. It is just a feeling that we've gotten as we have delt with them over the past few days. They don't really seem to communicate with each other. I hate to judge people on their looks but that is exactly what we are doing to these people. They are like the super-suburbanites. She has bleached blonde hair and over sized well manicured nails. He drives around in a white Jag and they live in a McMansion.

I had a roommate in college once say "Stereotypes exist because they are true". It is such an awful blanket statement but it probably carries some amount of truth. I'm sure there are aspects of my life that could be easily stereo-typed but even so they don't define me as a person. But when you are dealing with someone for such a small moment in time the stereo-type may define them. I guess that is OK.
