Shopping with men

Location: Valley Faire mall
Date: Sometime between Dec 14, 2006 and Dec. 23, 2006.
Time: mid afternoon.

My lovely girlfriend led me into a women's clothing store right before Xmas, to finish up some last minute gift buying.
We walked in, and I whipped out my handy game boy before turning to look for a place to sit.
There was no fewer than 5 dudes sitting in the entryway, looking like they were about to be kicked in the jaw.
"Whatup guys?!" I say, waving, they all look beaten...
One man, a nice Hispanic dude rocking a baby carriage (as in moving it back and forth, not "Rocking it," as in "Wearing it with style.")
I approach, holding my green game boy.
"Ahh.. the wait..."
"Yeah," he says with a scared laugh, as if any minute his wife was going to return and slap him.
"So dude, I brought a game boy to keep me entertained, but you totally brought a kid!"
"Yep."
"Trade?" I hold the game boy out in case he's not sure what I'm offering for his child.
No lie, he actually looks the game boy over, even ducks his head to see what game is in the slot.
"Sure," he laughs again.
"Sweet!" I say, as my girlfriend returns and leads me away from the store and the poor man she thinks I was harassing.
