Sunday afternoon, I stopped at 10Box for a few things before getting my scratchers out of the machine. Those items were four bananas, six lemons, a bag of Sour Cream and Cheddar Potato Chips, and a box of Little Debbie Fudge Rounds. I had the Young Man Checker, who just turned 21 in January, according to the multi-colored-hair checker last week, who assured me that "all our boys are 21 now," when I said I avoided his line when buying Hick's Wild Turkey.
Anyhoo... YM Checker asked how I was doing. He's an entertaining kid, always friendly.
"Oh, I just had to get the necessities."
"Ha ha. I agree. Especially with THESE," he said, scanning the Little Debbie Fudge Rounds.
"Those are for my husband. He eats one every night."
"Oh, no! Does he have nightmares?"
"No. He has diabetes! He shouldn't be eating them at all..."
"Well, he might be having nightmares AND diabetes!"
"I know he shouldn't eat them, but he likes them so much. I'm not really trying to kill him. And who am I to deny him such a small pleasure?"
YM Checker agreed with me. He didn't try to take a picture for evidence while I was bagging my own groceries.
Ha! Hick is killing himself if anything since he does the eating, you are merely an accessory - so lesser charges :P
ReplyDeleteGood to know! I may call you as a character witness in my eventual trial, heh, heh!
DeleteOh I definitely will be a character witness!!
DeleteHopefully you won't expose me as too much of a character! I don't need the jury twirling their crazy temple fingers...
Deleteyour character is part of your charm and you are always 100% innocent!
DeleteYou are definitely my witness!
DeleteHmmm. planning to murder your husband? With twinkies? You might need to form a support group with husbands who love Hostess products. I love Little Debbie.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Projecting? I never mentioned Twinkies!
DeleteI agree about not denying him a small pleasure, but I also think about the sneaky donuts every morning and who knows what else during the day!
ReplyDeleteI know what else Hick eats during the day! The candy bar wrappers on the floor of the laundry room tattle on him. He's going to eat what's bad for him, whether I buy it or not.
