On to the less serious and all funny story that happened sometime last week. I call it, my-everyday-life-something-like-this-happens-about-once-a-day.
I ran into CVS to pick something up. I wish it was something that made me look old, but it wasn't. It was something normal, like razors or something. At least it wasn't a pack of Big League Bubble Gum, that would make it worse (granted I can't have that, remember, I have braces) I waited patiently to check out and finally it was my turn. To paint an accurate picture, you have to know that I was about 6 people deep in the line, with one register open. Having working in retail, if you have one line open, your goal is to get people in and out, or else you have some angry people. That was not this girls objective. She wanted everyone to have a CVS card.
So its my turn remember.
"Do you have a CVS card," she asked. "No I don't," I replied. She looked up at me and said, "Well, do your parents have one we could look up??"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Do my parents have one??? How young do I look?? I'm 25 years old. My parents? Did this girl that must have been a year out of high school think my mom was waiting for me outside in the car? I mean really. My parents? Ouch.
I couldn't help but laugh a little. I mean how could you not. I haven't been asked about my parents like that in a long time. In fact, earlier in the week I was upset (used lightly) that two, not one, but two people had called me ma'am! I'm not old enough to be called that. But I'm certainly not young enough to be asked about my parents.
So I blame the braces. 'Brace face' as my sister calls me. I'd rip them off if I thought I could...and it wouldn't hurt...and the jaw problem would go away. Ok, I'll leave them on. Urgggg....I'm 25. So that happened.
