To lazy to lather


Is it my imagination, or do Americans get lazier every year. Liquid soap comes out pre-foamed. My God, have we become so lazy that sudsing our own squirt of soap has become too tedious? What's next? Pre-chewed gum? "ABC Spearmint gum. We do the chewing, so you don't have to."
Do I sound old? ... "Back in my day we had to work up a darn good lather all on our own. You kids don't know how good you have it!"
Next thing you know I'll be buying sensible beige colored shoes with Velcro straps, and underwear with a waistband that goes all the way up to my bra.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way. My kids & I are shocked when we go home & look around Wegmans. The amount of stuff that caters to "lazy folks" is unreal!

Could you imagine motorized shopping carts in Europe??

WEGMANS! I MISS WEGMANS!

I own a pear of beige, velcro close sandals AND I cut in front of a German lady in line at the bakery last week.

Have I been in Germany too long? Will they revoke my US passport?

No, Liz, the pre-lathered soap is more efficient! The air is already incorporated into the dispensed soap so that you don't have too much pure soap for just your two hands. Be comforted.

It feels very good.
