Ma Can We Keep 'Em?

The other day was my day off...Grant my brother/partner in crime and I were sent to the store. That store we haunt the most, the store Americans depend on, the store that is always there for us, filled with people and always low prices. And this day was no exception, it was a cold damp and rainy Tuesday and everyone who was anyone was at Walmart. Grant and I were hoping to to get in and out as quick as possible but our "small" list was growing with every text message. At last our weary feet pushed our loaded cart towards the cash register, and the process of waiting, unloading, paying and reloading began. We weren't really paying attention to all the people passing in the din of voices and bleeep bleeeep of the registers but for some reason I looked up, and when I did so saw a Mother pushing her cart loaded with white bags and a young child. She was met by 3 of the cutest little boys coming from the opposite direction (seriously they looked like they had just stepped out of a Pottery Barn catalog) As the little group approached the mother their faces beaming excitement, the middle boy who had curly blond hair shouted "Look mom, at what we found" and triumphantly held up four green X-box game cases which oddly enough appeared to be dripping wet. She replied with a very motherly "Where did you find those?" and the triumphant response of the three boys in unison was "In the bathroom toilet" You can imagine the chaos that followed in the next 5 seconds amid the squeals of their mother and the suppressed giggles of the on lookers as the boys were rushed to customer service to return their discovery and get germ-x'ed one and all.
When the excitment was over everyone went back to what had previously occupied them, now with a smile haunting the corners of their mouths.
Only at Walmart
