Two trips to Safeway
Before I impart an amusing incident that occurred to me a few weeks ago I must tell you all this important and piece of information: pusifoot is not pregnant. This actually is vital for following this story without distraction.

My story begins on a lovely Saturday afternoon. pusifoot asks me to run to the store to pick up some groceries and some alcohol. I go to our local Safeway where they are having quite a nice sale on many types of alcohol. I pick up the bottles that had been requested and I pick up some other favorites on sale. By the time I am done shopping I have six bottles of various types of hard liquor, a six-pack of beer, a six-pack of hard apple crisp cider and a bottle of margarita mix. They checkout lady is very friendly and mentions that if I bought just one more bottle of alcohol I could get even more of a discount. I decline.

Break to Sunday morning. I had previously agreed to drive a friend to the airport. Here is where the pregnancy information becomes important. pusifoot had been having some interesting symptoms that had made up think she might have been pregnant. We needed to be sure, so we agreed to buy a pregnancy test to check it out. Sunday morning at about 7am, I am driving back home from the airport and decide this would be an excellent opportunity to grad the test. I stop at the same Safeway. I pick up a test and take it through the checkout. This is my only purchase. After walking up to the checkout I realize that this is the Exact Same Checkout Lady. I push the little test up to the scanner. She looks down at the test. She looks up at me and she realizes that I had just been there the night before. She says nothing but “hello.” I, however, could not help but notice a particular amused gleam in her eye that seemed to say, “wow, that was some party you had last night.” I paid for my pregnancy test and slipped out the door.
