Don't Cross the Red Tape... without chocolate

April 30, 2008

It all started with a few requests as my friend and I announced we would be going to the store to pick up some things....

I found myself alone at the store when my friend saw that the basketball game was on. It was fine - it might be faster this way. One item of business was buying feminine products for people who shall remain nameless. I select needed items and carefully balance them in my arms just in time to answer my cell phone to another request. This request is for a phone charger.
On my way to electronics I hit up the frozen isle and snag some mixed veggies and continue on. With a smirk on my face I asked the two gentlemen where I could find the charger and chuckle as they awkwardly glanced at my hands.

I found the correct charger and headed in the direction of checkout when I realize my wallet is still in the car so I decided to stash the items in the clothing section. As I start to bend over to set down the balanced items - the top box of tampons falls to the floor bursting open - tampons fly like little miniature torpedoes all over the floor. I laughed as I scurried to pick them up - just in time for two guys to come around the corner and almost trip over me and my now-rebalanced feminine products.

I obtained my wallet, grabbed aforementioned items, and jumped into line. . . and guess who gets in line behind me? A young, cute, guy friend of mine who probably doesn't have any bit of an understanding of how funny the whole situation REALLY is. He was uncomfortable when he saw my handful of goodies. Naturally I had to explain - and a few people in line had a good laugh too :)
