Silence is Golden?

I left Robbie and Jacob at home to get some holiday shopping done. (By the way, I love "holiday shopping". Suddenly shopping becomes an official errand. Like going to the post office or buying groceries. I like to hustle and bustle.) I stopped for a snack at a little cafe mid shopping trip. I was alone, so I was totally people watching while enjoying my mini egg and cheese omelet . I must have been there for 15-20 minutes total. There was a couple sitting at the table next to me... just sitting there. They didn't talk to each other the whole time, and they weren't even on their phones or reading a book or anything. Just sitting there. Sometimes looking at each other. What was happening? Were they waiting for a ransom call or something? Or do they just hate each other?

It was weird.

Robbie, I'm glad we can talk about "nothing" rather than sitting in dead silence. Even if we bicker about you biting your nails or me always losing my phone... or about the validity of owning two different sets of Star Wars movies, so we can have both the unaltered theater version and the updated added footage version. (Can you guess what side I'm on?)

"But the original Star Wars is classic, pure...
And the newer versions are the realization of George Lucas' vision..."

I am uncomfortable with this scenario. I am just gonna go with the ransom phone call idea.

Maybe they're vampires. Can't eat anything, and you didn't notice them talking because their mouths move super fast. Totally plausible.

PS: Another uncomfortable moment: I was in Ross and a white trash couple right next to me started fighting. It involved raised, angry voices, boy storming off, girl starting to cry as she was trying on shoes.
