The exchange went like this as Teresa and I walked into a store:

Clerk; " Are you ladies out shopping today."

Me: " No we are having our hair dyed right now"

Clerk: "well fun for you!"

Mom: "that wasn't nice"

Me: "I have no tolerance for blatant stupidity, and besides she didn't even get it! My response was wasted, should have said, here's your sign"

Dear 2013 maybe during your year I can work on being nice to blatant stupidity.
