So yesterday night around 10 me and my dad go to walmart to get some last minute thanksgiving stuff. I go off and look at my own stuff while he shops for groceries. After awhile i'm heading back to meet back up with him and i really look at what people are buying, and you know, it's kind of interesting. Some people you can totally tell what they're planning on doing with their stuff. Like this one guy, he had a cart with reddi whip, pie crust, pie filling, etc. Obviously, he's in charge of making the pie for thanksgiving. Now this other guy, he walks over to the fridge side of the store and takes like twelve of those little boxes of butter, stacks em all up, and heads to his cart. Now, i've got no idea what he's going to do with all that, but he has to be making something, right? I don't know what requires that much butter though..I mean, i made cookies the other day and it was a double batch so it took four sticks of butter (one package) so unless he's making 24 batches of cookies I haven't got the faintest clue. Oh, phone, brb
Nevermind, it wasn't for me. Anyways, where was I? oh yeah, weird walmart people. I saw this one dude who really looked like a thug, then noticed that he had a cart full of baking stuff, like cake boxes and frosting and stuff, which i found sort of funny. But other than that i didn't really find any more odd shoppers. I mean, besides myself. If someone looked at me they'd be like "ookay, this person came to walmart to buy ribbons and brown sugar? whatever." so yeah, i'm a weird shopper too. anyways, we're getting ready to check out and i grab a magazine, (good god, it had miley cyrus on the cover and i didn't even notice until i left the store. bleh) and all's going well until the last thing, the turkey, doesn't have a scanning thing on it. So the dude calls over this lady, and she comes and she's really smiley i notice. Her face was really unique looking. Her eyes are a little too far apart and her smile is absoloutly huge. like it takes up half her face. Anyways, so she comes and i notice that her name tag says "twenty years of service" on it. Now tell me, how could someone remain so smiley after working in walmart for twenty years of their life?! I haven't even been alive for twenty years, and the thought of having to work in a place like walmart for so long is just unimaginable. and to stay so happy during it all? My gosh, it amazes me. Anyways, she goes and checks the price for the turkey and she comes back and it's 2 dollars and something cents a pound, and i'm thinking Oh wow! I didn't know you could get a turkey for two dollars! Who knew? but of course, that's not how it works. since it's two dollars a pound it's pretty dang pricey, and i guess i wasn't listening to the a pound part. Anyways, we leave and everything's fine and dandy and then my dad was like Do you know what turkey giblets are? and i'm like No, what are they? haaa, little did i know. All i can say is, why in the world would you buy a turkey with that in it? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? anyhow, i grossed out and he laughed at me and it was a lovely father-daughter moment. haha, yep, those are the sort of moments we have. Actually, that's probably the most we've talked in quite awhile. Golly gee, i'm really hungry right now. I had some cookies this morning but that's it. Well, no, not this morning. This afternoon. anyhow, i'm done now, so toodles
