For those of you who know us well, will think this is funny. For those of you who don't know us so well may say, that's not funny. I personally thought it was hilarious and worth sharing!
Daniel, Justin, and I were at Walmart. Justin had $2.00 in change that was burning a hole in his pocket. He and Daniel walked all over the store trying to figure out how he was going to spend his $2.00. He, with the help of Daniel, chose to buy goldfish. He was able to buy 2 of them - they were .28 cents a piece. He could then afford to buy the food so they would be able to eat. Don't feel too sorry he is doing this all on his own, with no help from me. I get suckered into purchases constantly. To say the least, our kids are spoiled. This isn't necesarily a good thing. So, we go to the self checkout, because I felt sorry for the cashier we might get because they would be counting change for a while. This way, in the self checkout you just keep feeding the change into the machine. The purchase was made, then we get ready to leave and the lady that helps with all the self checkouts says she needs to hold the fish. What? I thought maybe she didn't trust him that he bought it. Then, I realized she watches all of the transactions on her screen and could see him feeding in his money one coin at a time. She proceeds to the exit with us and holds the fish over the electronic devices that sound off when you are stealing something. Someone out there can let me know what those are called later. I asked, "Why did she need to do this?" Simple question. She said, "it can kill the fish with the electronic waves." Being the constant learning/teaching moment mom that I am. I asked Daniel and Justin, "Imagine what it does to our bodies if it kills a fish. Everytime we go through there it must be killing our cells one by one." Just a thought. Daniel, my too quick on his feet responses (not my child - his dad's), says "Yea mom, that's why you are so dumb, because you love to shop." WHAT? I wasn't so sure how to respond other than laugh. I did have to tell him that wasn't really a nice thing to say about his mom. He then proceeded to tell me that I am always saying how brain dead I am because I have so many children. It wasn't their fault, but mine for shopping. I had to agree. I do say all the time, how brain dead/scatter brain I am. I believe whole heartedly with the birth of each child I gave them a piece of my brain. Four kids later, I have very little left for myself. There are times, you just don't have a case against your children. Enjoy your day!
