So, Nixie wanted me to go to Wal-Mart after we left Meijer this evening, and I said I wasn't going to because it was out of the way and I didn't have enough fuel to be wasting on a trip to that god-awful place. So, with an "aww", we pulled out of Meijer and started heading back to her house.
Now here's where things become unfortunate: I somehow managed to pull out behind a minivan (not an SUV, Nixie) which had the ominous glow that can only come from a vehicle with flip-down movie screens. Whoever designed those things should have gone a step further and either a) thought to frost or otherwise tint the back window so as to not announce to other vehicles that you're watching a movie, or b) made the thing project directly on the back window, complete with a station other people can tune into so they, also, can enjoy this movie. The second one has been taught to us since grammar school: "Did you bring enough to share with the rest of the class?"
That being said, I'm always drawn to pull closer to try and identify what movie they're watching. This is unfortunate, as these vehicles are usually family vehicles, and they don't need a glorified go-cart seemingly riding their ass like any other obnoxious driver. Regardless, I pulled closer, and soon saw what looked to be a Harry Potter movie. Upon mention of this observation, Nixie's curiosity shot through the roof and it was suddenly "Get closer! Get closer! A red light! Stop close behind! I want to see! Dammit, get CLOSER!!!" and so it continued, with some poor family probably mortified that they were about to be gunned down by some drunken, adrenaline-crazed teenagers.
Long story short, we followed that van all the way to Wal-Mart... funny how these things just happen sometimes.
