I decided to make some rice krispie treats. So head to Safeway to purchase the ingredients.
Lucky for me, marshmallows were on sale. And you never know when you’ll need a mallow. So I bought 3 bags plus a box of rice krispies cereal (really, I bought the safeway brand).
I grabbed a few other items and headed to the checkout.
The checkout guy scans my groceries and says, “You making rice krispies treats?”
What I should have said, “Nope, I just really like marshmallows.” Or, “No, why would you ask?” or, “Wait, did I grab marshmallows, I meant to grab little fluffy clouds.”
Instead I say, “Yep.”
Sometimes I wonder what he says to the lady with 4 gallons of milk, capri suns, lunch meat and enough bread for a soccer team…ooh, she probably has oranges too. He probably says, “wow, how many kids do you have?”
Or to the guy checking out with a dozen roses, strawberries, wine and chocolate. “Planning on getting lucky tonight?”
Thank you captain obvious for the inspiration for this blog post.
