Seen in the parking lot...

So yesterday I was going to get us take out and I had secured the food into the beetle which involved a seat belt. Hey there were sauces involved! While maneuvering the parking lot I was on at one of those crazy parking lot intersections where the architects go all fuckititsprivatepropertywe'llshapeitlikewewant on the thing and it's a bit weird. No need to describe it, but I found myself in the right lane approaching a stop sign and the left lane was all backed up and there were two women about 45 approaching to cross.

I live in Seattle so the proper thing to do is to wave pedestrians over til your foot falls asleep on the brake and then finally you snap and make one wait while you go. So I stopped to let them by way short of the stop sign.

They looked over for the wave and before I could wave one punched the other one. OK it was in the arm, but still it was a punch and it looked hard. Then she grabbed the other woman's arm and as if to steady it while she hit and WHAM she did it again. Hard. I mean you tell by her face she had intent with these blows landing on the other woman's upper arm. On the third blow (yes just as hard and with just as much gusto on her face) I could read her lips (Notice this is not a skill I have. Generally I can't do it. I just can't. Mouth something to me? You'll get back, huh?) But she clearly said and with much intensity: "Slug Bug" and again... BAM.

So then they crossed as I rolled down my window a little bit and I said, laughing as I passed, "Did you say, 'Silver'?"

"Ha! Silver" BAM she hit her again! Poor dark haired woman. She has to be bruised today.

My theory? Siblings.
