Maddi and I stepped in through the sliding doors feeling the warm air trying to escape behind us. The light was dingy and unfamiliar emphasizing the fact that we were strangers to this grocery store. The chaotic air of the store made me instantly want to go back to the super centers I’d come to know and love. Adding to the chaos, this seemed to be yet another place for social gathering and ulterior motives. It would appear that bread and milk weren’t the only things on the shopping list of the men present. Testosterone seemed to swarm from between all the isles, waiting for opportune moments to strike their prey. It was at the cereal isle that we were first approached.
“Hey! You use shopping cart. Good idea. Can I share with you?”
What do you say to that? Quickly he added,
“You got bread! That’s the other thing I need. Thanks for reminding me.”
I just gave a small smile and a quiet, “You’re welcome,” moving on to grab my box of Honey-Ohs. Strange. Do people really have cases where disgustingly cheesy pickup l lines and conversation starters have worked for them? Honestly, the girls that fall for that stuff are the reason girls like us can’t wear our yoga pants to the grocery store anymore. :)

Oh my goodness, that made me giggle :). Was he cute? DID the pickup line work?? You really should put more details into your stories. They leave me hanging. OR, you should ANSWER YOUR TELEPHONE! Honestly. . .
Haha. That's awesome. That is one thing that has never happened to me and I've lived in Provo forever! Congrats! :)
I laughed. Out loud. A lot. That was my favorite story of the day. And I miss you. LOVE!
