Really this is the only title I can think of that fits with what I'm about to say. I found myself at Toys R Us this morning looking around and thinking maybe I'd get a jump on Christmas shopping. While cruising the aisles, I found a Disney princess umbrella. Good for 2 reasons:
1. It rains in Washington
2. It's on Nat's list for Santa.
I sneakily open it up and make sure it's good, put it in the cart, and cover it with my purse. As we go to check out I distract her with something so she won't see the umbrella. I put it on the counter, lean forward and whisper to the clerk," Could you please put this in a seperate bag? Thanks". She WHISPERS back "Sure no problem." Of course I grabbed the umbrella with no bar code on it and she can't ring it up. I tell her it the price, but no she has to ring it in the computer, so what does she do? Grabs the loud phone and booms over the speaker, " I need a price check on a Disney princess umbrella." Nat runs over and sees her holding her precious gift and starts asking if it's for her. And " I really would like to borrow that princess umbrella because I just love princesses mommy. I really do." MORON!!! Big huge MORON!! I lie to my child and tell her it must be for someone else because we can't get an umbrella today. Luckily I blamed it on the fact that, at that exact moment it wasn't raining so we didn't need an umbrella.
Work with me people, work with me! Seriously. Moron.

HA! That little nat, I just love her...I can just imagine how her eyes lit up when she heard about that umbrella.
And stupid checker, what was she thinking?!?
Don't you just love when they do that. You'd think at a toy store they would be a little more aware of those things.
That happened to me once. I asked the lady, discreetly, to put the spiderman costume in a separate bag. She said okay. Will walks up behind me and she says, "that looks like a pretty cool Spiderman costume. You're going to have fun with that." What? Why exactly do you think I asked for the extra bag? Because I am anti environment and so instead of trying to use less bags...I ask for a bunch of extra ones. Yep. That's the only logical answer.
Morons are everywhere. They should have a club.
They are all around us aren't they? I think we've all had experiences and it just kills me everytime. I'm glad you were still able to cover.
I've been there! So very frustrating!
