Airheads

When I go on vacation I always buy candy. The Food Lion near my office has the best deal on airheads around town. They have the mini airheads with red,blue, and green flavors only. It's only 99 cents, so I loaded up with 4 bags.

Cashier: Are these for you or the kids?
What I really wanted to say: Woman! Who said I have kids!
What I actually said: They are for me. I'm going on a trip.

Cashier: Are you leaving the kids with their dad? That's what I do.
What I really wanted to say: Woman! Get out of my business!
What I actually said: I said nothing... I just handed her the money

Cashier: Where are you going?
What I really wanted to say: Somewhere without kids
What I actually said: Nashville, TN
Cashier: How far is that?
Me: 8 hours

At this point she finally gives me my change.

Cashier: Are you driving?
What I really wanted to say: Why? Are you coming with me?
What I really said: No, I'm flying

Cashier: Whew, that's good because I couldn't...
Me: "Have a nice day." [smile]

I walked away and have no idea how she finished that sentence.


At this point in my life (nearly 25 years old) I finally have to accept that it's a fair question for people to ask if I have kids or am married. However, I do not have to accept the ASSUMPTION that I have either.

She's seen me there before. Who lied and told her I have kids?!?

The best is yet to come,
