Mom Tired Blast From The Past: July 2006
Every morning on my way to the bookstore I stop at the gas station.
You know, the ones that have everything you need – groceries, pastries, pizza/sandwiches, sodas, sausages on those weird roll-y things.
Every morning I get a big 32 oz. Diet Coke and once or twice a week I also get cherry turnovers.
I know it sounds weird, but they have KILLER cherry turnovers.
(For all of you who are going to comment on my Diet Coke with cherry turnovers… well, just don’t. I already know.)
One morning I continued with my regular morning routine and the woman behind the counter decided it was the day to stage an intervention:
Woman: You know, you’re going to turn into a cherry turnover.
ME: Ya think? (I’m quite the morning conversationalist)
HER: When your fat jeans don’t fit anymore don’t come in here complaining to me because you ate too many cherry turnovers.
ME: …
ME: …
ME: …
I had NO witty retort.
And I HATE when that happens.
(I blame it on the morning. My sarcasm had not been activated yet.)
I just want her to know, I have plenty of FAT JEANS and they fit me just fine, thank you very much.
I still enjoyed that cherry turnover with my Diet Coke.
