From your emails, it is obvious that Christmas shopping took its toll. Congrats to all of you who were computer savvy enough to do some online shopping. The following is an actual shopping experience at a local mall. M
P.S. Gertie's daughter's best friend's grandmother has recently recovered from a broken hip, and life is pretty much getting back to normal for her. Except for putting on her panty hose. She just couldn't quite manage those moves. And, being a lady who didn't feel 'dressed' without a dress and hose, she decided it was necessary to go back to the days of garter belts. Phone book in hand, she called all the stores she could think of. She found the hose she wanted, but no luck with the necessary garter belt. A friend suggested Victoria's Secret. She called. Sure enough, they had garter belts.
So, with credit card and walker, she went to the mall. A lovely young sales girl showed her their selection. They were not as grandma remembered. Mumbling to herself as she studied the elastic and figured out how she could alter this contraption to fit her needs, she became aware of the other sales girls and a few shoppers observing her contemplation. She completed her purchase and stepped to the door. She realized the crowd was holding back their laughter, so just to give them something to remember, she turned to the group and in a stage whisper said, "My boyfriend's a hottie!" She could still hear their laughter two stores away.
Make 2013 special by keeping your sense of humor.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
