Turns out bathing suits have a lifespan. Who knew? I took my favorite out of the drawer and the elastic made a crackling sound. So, off to the mall, which is the point of this story.
So, I’m walking in the mall with my new, highly overpriced bathing suit, and I see these two identically-dressed men. One of them appeared to be about 50, and white. The other appeared to be mid-30s, and Asian. The white guy had a child with him. The two men were just far enough apart that one could not tell for sure whether they were together or just walking down the same hall at the same time.
Except they were identical. Both short-ish (5’6″ I guess), they were wearing seafoam green polo shirts. White guy was wearing beige shorts. Asian guy was wearing washed-out desert camo shorts that gave the impression of being the same beige. Both were carrying Target bags.
It wasn’t the strangest thing I’ve seen at the mall. But it was odd.
