Last Friday I shared this photo and update on the Messy Mom Facebook page.
Great news! I always grocery shop on Friday nights (it’s a glamorous life). Tonight J is busy and we needed groceries. I am proud to say I went grocery shopping with all four kids and I didn’t loose any children or steal any products (that I know of, I probably should have given the kids a pat down). We may have come home with a little more junk food than usual, but all in all it was a success!
By the way I usually use reusable bags and prefer it because they hold more…
Talking about the reusable bags reminded me of a recent look back and laugh with a quirky outspoken bag boy.
I usually get as many freebie bags as I can. Most of them aren’t cutesy, but who cares. I rarely pay attention to what’s on the front. Not so for my bag boy on this particular day. He had an ongoing commentary for every bag that he filled.
employee: Oh Minnie Mouse! Did you go to Disney world?
me: Uh, no that was a bag my daughter got a present in for Christmas last year.
employee: I see you have a Meijer’s bag. That’s our competitor. Their prices are not as low I can tell you that.
employee: Is this your Doctor? Grabs a pink bag that has “Women’s health specialists” with Doctors names on it
me: Um, yeah (it was technically an ObGyn thank you very much. I never had anyone ask about it before, but at this point I am starting to feel self conscious).
He truly did go on and on until the bags were full and loaded into the cart. I quickly paid and he asked if I needed help getting them to the car. I declined. I felt like he already knew too much about me just by examining my reusable bags who knows what a trip to the car would entail.
In all seriousness though, he gave me a good laugh as I thought about it on the way home. He was an interesting character, but he was friendly. We need more friendly people in the world so more power to him.
That’s why I rarely use my reusable bags. “Do you have a dog “😐🐶
