The 1930s are alive and well in the JoAnn checkout line

She was buying a returned package of Knifty Knitters, those circular things you use to make hats and scarves.

"They're sold as a toy," she was loudly telling the woman behind her. "But they actually work. I can't crochet anymore and I never learned to knit, and I have to do something." All well and good.

Then conversation turned to her ... granddaughter? ... and the young girl's own knitting. "Oh, she enjoys it," speaker said. "But she'd rather stick her nose in a book or go play outside."

That ... was not where I thought that sentence was going.
