Entertaining Story of the week

A few odd things happened to me this week, and I would love to share a story with the world (or the 2 people that actually read this).

The weekend was filled with the hustling and bustling of wedding activities, and the whole family was here. On Saturday morning my brother exclaimed he’d like to go to a JC thriftstore. Kind of an odd request for 8 in the morning, but we went! It was fun brother/sister bonding.

As I laid my $1.49 Taebo videos on the counter at the Goodwill, the lady behind the counter was uncharacteristically friendly and outgoing! She was joshing with a fellow employee and then making conversation with me as I handed her my money.

She joked about how busy it was, how I got a great deal on the videos and how she'd like to get her teeth back in…wait…what!?? Then the conversation proceeded as follows:

“Oh, well I’ve had pneumonia for the last three weeks and have yet to get rid of this horrible cough…” (she then hands me my change and I can’t help but wonder what microgerms are digging their way into the fabric of the dollar bills.)

“Anyway, every time I would cough, my teeth would just shoot out of my mouth! I couldn’t keep them in! So, I’ve had to resort to looking like a little old lady for a while! Oh well.” She graciously smiled, with her top lip folded in, and packed my items into a plastic bag.

“Have a great day honey!” she exclaimed, and we left with smiles and peculiar smirks on our faces.
