Life With Frenchie

I was so excited about the deals I found at Ross & Marshall Friday that I forgot about the lady who looked like she might have wanted to kill me in Marshall!

While we were checking out at Ross, there were two ladies in there and one had her 3 little kids with her. The kids looked to all be under the age of 4. The scene was like something out of a sitcom because the mom and her friend were trying to wrangle up the kids the whole time while shopping and paying. You constantly heard their conversations interrupted by “Sweetie, don’t do that,” or “I told you to come out from there,” etc.

When we moved on to Marshall, and within a few minutes they were there. As I was finding my Polo shirts, the mom was about 3 rows away, in my direct line of sight. From the sounds of the conversation with her kids, one was crawling under and through the racks of clothing. As I looked up, there was another lady in the same aisle with her, pretty much next to the mom and kids. You could tell from the look on her face that she was not happy! I pray that she doesn’t have grandkids because she seemed more like the witch in Hansel & Gretel than a grandmother type. It got to the point where they needed to exchange places because the two were moving in opposite directions down the row.

At this point, I guess the kids were in the way because all I heard was mom saying “I’m sorry..” and she was very sweet and polite about it. It was not enough for the witch though because she just rolled her eyes and looked like she wanted to stick them all in her oven! I couldn’t help it, but I just started to laugh out loud and couldn’t stop. Well, that didnt’ make the witch any happier! She snapped her head up and shot evil looks in my direction. I gave her a polite smile and tried not to laugh anymore but it was too late. I just kept laughing and chuckling (I’m sure the people in my aisle thought I was off my meds!) and she kept formulating a recipe for my trip to her oven! I finally had to just walk away and continue my search later because I was afraid she was going to pull some Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon move and leap over the racks to get me!

I have never been quite as amused at the “suffering” of others before and apparently, the witch wasn’t as amused as I was. What a great shopping trip! Bargains and entertainment all in one trip!
