Well, I didn’t ultimately ask that – but if she’d hit me just one more time with it I might have…
I’m in Walmart. Not because I wanted to be, but because I had a $40 dollar gift card from my employer, and evidently even my principles will crumble for 40 bucks. I’m trying to get a look at the selection of blank DVD’s but there is this couple with two kids in the way. One of the kids is running around the store yelling, but nothing that unusual for a kid of that age… the other is wanting to be picked up, and is having about as much luck getting the parents’ attention as I am. All I want to do is look at some DVD’s but they are intruiged by the all-in-one printer thing thats on sale. I asked her to move a little because I just wanted to look at this one thing but I don’t think I showed up on the radar. So I went around her and tried to see if I could get a look from the other side of what she was blocking. Suddenly the floor child gets moms attention and she lifts him up and over her shoulders but he goes a little too far and flails a bit to get a good seating. His head collides with my temple. Walmart has a term for this I think – a “rollback”? 😛 He is not hurt, he actually laughs at me and she just gives me a glare. It freaking hurt. Luckily she did not hit me with her child again, but I had to violate her personal space to get a look at the DVDs I ultimately purchased. Another glare. I hope her printer gags on its first breath of new paper.
