Side Effect Of Plan B

Scene di ordinario shopping di fine stagione

"Il Quotidiano della Calabria" domenica 04 gennaio 2009

Il copione puntualmente si ripete: le frasi da sconti che si registrano in giro per negozi sono sempre riferite alla taglia che non c’è, al modello un po’ diverso da quello desiderato, al «ci penso…magari ripasso!» ben sapendo che dopo qualche minuto già ciò su cui si erano poggiati gli occhi potrebbe non esserci più. Ma oltre alle frasi, in periodo di saldi, tipiche sono le facce! Quelle dei mariti distrutti dalla estenuante ricerca di un parcheggio (Especially if the woman does not have the proper shoes to deal with the rain) or children who must undergo the torture of evidence in the dressing room. Kids stressed out before entering, aware of what they'll be a little while getting undressed just about anything!. In the meantime, do not know where to put the jacket, too big for your hands full with clothes to try, and as you unravel in the dressing room too narrow, with the anxiety caused by those who, behind the curtain waiting for their turn to enter, maybe the phone rings. Here's the play becomes a tragedy! "Oh .. where is it?" Scenes of ordinary shopping fever of discounts, when suddenly there is something missing that needs to be purchased, and then start the search. But really what's missing? Few have a clear idea, many are improvised guess. And then here to hear phrases like "this dress could be used for any occasion!" Or simply imagining that, despite the pounds accumulated during dinners and dinners, we can in a short time return to the original size. Then there are those, providing further crisis, he buys his son a pair of shoes two sizes too big "to grow, and the next winter will be a brush" and who, still bound to traditional rites of marriage, in view of the future (maybe very future) commitment of his daughter, took the opportunity to buy at the fair white, all more in the hope that the hypothetical son can at least appreciate their sacrifice.
