I still draw the crowds Juliet!
When I lived in New York, ever since I can remember, there have been a running joke between my friends and I that no matter which store I go into when we were shopping, if that store is empty, a crowd gathers around me! I used to laugh at the thought but I'm realising how true that is even today! I will go into a store or a section of a department in a store that is totally empty, there's no one at all for 'miles', then all of a sudden there would be so many people around me I can't move! It would make me wonder where the heck did all these people come from?!
I proved their theory correct once again when I was at the Mall with my kids this past weekend. I decided to leave the crowded department store and go into a jewellery boutique that carries some wonderful inexpensive costume jewellery. The store was absolutely empty, just the clerk sitting at her counter. We were inside looking around and admiring the display. All of a sudden I realised that I'm being bumped, pushed and prodded by people who came out of nowhere! The store was crowded! I quickly purchased a couple of items and left in a hurry, laughing to myself! If my friends were there they would be laughing with me too, yep, my old magnetic pull does it again!
