Do you ever see people in the store, and wonder why they buy what they buy?
Maybe I am weird, or addicted to people watching... I dunno, but sometimes, I can't help myself. I start to imagine these entire scenarios of people I have only just seen. It usually happens when I see them more than once in the store...
Today, I saw a lady in the bread isle.... I was waiting for Evan to come back from the potty with Jeremiah who had announced just 10 minutes before, loud enough for a deaf person in the next county to have heard, that HE HAD TO GO POOPS! (sigh....) So.. as I was standing in the bread isle waiting for their return, I had extra time to people watch. Actually, I was really wanting buy the generic version of a hostess ho-ho.... and this lady walked in front of the box that I was staring at, and broke me out of the reverie of my internal argument.... ( you want it... under no circumstances should you TOUCH the box.... you want it...... NO! )
That is the real reason she caught my attention.
She grabbed the banana muffins.... and she was skinny. Two more reasons I noticed her.
I got tired of waiting for the boys... so I wandered back up the isle so that I for sure wouldn't miss them when they were done.
I was tired, and wanted to get OUT of the store....
That's when she walked by .... again.....
She had acquired 3 frozen pizzas, a bag of bagels ( blueberry ) and a BIG ole' bottle of White Zin......
I have been wondering ever since what she was going to do with three pizzas, bagels, muffins and wine....
Here is what I came up with.....
1. It was an eternally long week at work. She is headed home to lock herself in for the weekend, drown her work troubles with some good carb consumption....watch a few movies, drink a few glasses of wine.... and just chill.
2. Her teen daughter is having a sleep over... Pizzas are for the girls, and muffins and bagels are for their breakfast in the morning..... Wine is for mommy...... so she may endure all the giggling, and sappy teen chick flicks....
By now, you either think I am completely insane.... or you want to play along....
What do you think she was going to do with her odd assortment of groceries???
Well, I have nothing more other than I think it's #2. Could possibly be a combo of both- but I think you nailed it. And, you are not weird- I do this, too. It's a sickness. But admitting we have a problem is the first step right? LOL
