Our eyes met and with a look of disdain, she literally says out loud with her mouth in front of a whole line of customers, "Does your husband dress you like that?"
One day I was doing the Walmart thing and when I got to the register the cashier gave me a "look." You know I take those "looks" as challenges. Like, come on, what you got? I'm gonna make your day.
I made the first move. I flashed a smile and an upbeat "Hello!"
Our eyes met and with a look of disdain, she literally says out loud with her mouth in front of a whole line of customers, "Does your husband dress you like that?"
I had only two ways to go with this so I took a dramatic pause, breathed real deep, and replied "Maam, do you THINK that my husband could color coordinate like this?" and I waved my arm in a downward motion for dramatic flair.
The whole line started to laugh. When everyone started laughing she started to laugh and gave me a knowing look of defeat and nodded and she looked at me and said "that was good."
I was just grateful for my good mood and sense of humor for they have carried me through many store aisles.
We all left that day a little better than when it started.
**Disclaimer in the spirit of truth:
Adnane Ijai absolutely can color coordinate like that and maybe better than I. She, however, did not need to know that. As long as we are being completely transparent, I hate Walmart.**
