- 2006-11-16 11:14 AM WHAT THE ROCK IS BLACK FRIDAY? Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving when it seems like nearly 99% of the population is shopping at brick and mortar stores. It's considered the day when US retail establishments go from being in debt to making a profit (being in the "red" to being in the "black" ).
One year we were in Indy visiting the in-laws. I offered to keep the 4 kids while my wife went shopping with her mother. We were going to spend the day at the Indy children's museum. Got up, didn't feel too good, pulled over and puked half-way there, but continued undaunted. Get to the museum and it is jam packed!! I'm thinkin' "Hey, why isn't everyone at the mall?" Met up with my wife later that day, and she commented that there weren't that many people out shopping. Duh, they were all at the museum, with ME!! |
